United States President Donald Trump appointed Jeffrey Bossert Clark, a lawyer who has previously represented British Petroleum (BP), to a top environmental and natural resource law position in the Department of Justice, the White House announced earlier this week.

It’s been more than six years since the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded, killing 11 workers and dumping some 700,000 cubic feet (ca.154 million gallons) of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. The hearts of people worldwide broke at the sight of oil-covered pelicans and dolphins swimming in oil slicks. That was only the beginning of ­the environmental damage, however. Now carbon from the spill has been found in the feathers and digestive tracts of seaside sparrows. [1]
The oil has officially entered the food chain.

Seven million liters of Corexit were sprayed from airplanes following the spill.
