Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Environmental Policy, grade: 95, language: English, abstract: The blowout of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig on April 20, 2010 was the worst oil spill in U.S. history. Damages from the event rapidly increased the rate of coastal erosion to the coastal wetlands of Louisiana. This region plays a vital role to our nation's economy. Many ethnic communities that contribute to the richness of Louisiana's food, music, and culture also suffered from this event. Settlements from British Petroleum will go towards coastal restoration projects and to compensate coastal communities that suffered as a direct result of the oil spill. Louisiana is now taking on steps to protect and restore the fragile wetlands along its coast over the next 50 years through a $50 billion project known as the Coastal Master Plan.
