Gulf Disaster Growing: Pressure Mounting on BP, Regulators The Center for Biological Diversity has been going nonstop since our update on the Gulf Disaster last week -- every hour, there's more coming out about BP's lack of adequate safety and spill-mitigation measures, more failures to stop the gushing oil, the oil industry's widespread influence over regulatory agencies, and continued approvals of Gulf drilling projects after the spill (see below). Through our extensive, well-researched efforts, hundreds of newspaper, radio, and television stories are out now discussing the dangers of offshore oil drilling, its impacts on coastal communities and their endangered wildlife and plants, and the urgent need to reassess how and where offshore drilling is permitted. The Center's team of expert researchers, lawyers, and scientists couldn't be doing this critical, urgent work without your outpouring of support and energy ?- thank you. But the BP spill won't stop tomorrow. Clean-up in the Gulf of Mexico will take years, and more drilling is slated to happen from the Gulf to the Arctic. The Center will be following every development closely and putting the pressure on the Obama administration and Secretary Salazar to stop all future offshore drilling. Join us in taking action and read our collection of oil-spill media stories: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2167/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=3646 http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/public_lands/energy/dirty_energy_development/oil_and_gas/gulf_oil_spill/media_highlights.html Check out the Center's Gulf Disaster Web site every day for the latest news on the spill, press releases from the Center, a slideshow of impacted species, and updated answers to the most important spill-related questions.

Since the BP oil-rig explosion on April 20, an investigation has revealed that the U.S. Department of Interior's Minerals Management Service has approved 27 new offshore drilling plans as of May 7 -- 26 of those under the same environmental-review exemption used to approve the ill-fated Deepwater Horizon project. In fact, two of the exempted approvals went to BP, based on the same false assertions about oil-rig safety and an inconceivably alleged improbability of environmental damage. This is more bad news about the Mineral Management Service, but unfortunately it gets worse. Last week, the MMS became embroiled in controversy when it was revealed that it had exempted BP's offshore drilling plan from environmental review, and that it exempts hundreds of dangerous offshore oil-drilling projects in the Gulf of Mexico every year, by using a loophole in the National Environmental Policy Act meant only to apply to non-damaging activities like building an outhouse or creating a hiking trail. In response to the review-exemption scandal, last Thursday Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced that he had banned approval of new offshore oil-drilling permits -- but the next day, Interior acknowledged that environmental exemptions and drilling plans have not been halted. Salazar is still allowing those flawed drilling approvals to proceed, only halting the issuance of a last technical check-off that doesn't involve any environmental review.

The unfolding oil tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico raises a host of urgent environmental questions. We have asked some of our senior scientists to offer their perspectives on potential environmental threats of the oil blowout and what can be done to address them - now and in the future. In this second installment, we asked Doug Rader, a Ph.D. oceans scientist on staff at EDF, to help us understand the potential impacts on marine life.

It's true that the financial responsibility of the clean up rests legally and morally with the oil industry. However, there is still a very real and important role that EDF experts will play in the weeks and months to come. Our thoughts and hopes are with the hard-working and beleaguered folks who make the Gulf Coast their home.
