The Gulf of Mexico oil spill is testing all possible so called technological advancement made by humans. Nature is adamant to punish for misdeeds, directly or indirectly. The British oil giant BP, who was currently responsible for the operations of the Deepwater Horizon offshore rig, made cost provisions amounting to $32.2 billion associated with the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Louisiana’s nearly $2.4 billion dollar per year sea food industry, which generates heavy revenue and jobs at Plaquemines Parish, where Venice is located, also suffering from this oil spill. There are major harvesting areas for oysters and shrimp in the areas that are close to the spill's area.

During the last 100 days of Gulf of Mexico oil spill clean-up process, tropical storm Alex, tropical depression Bonnie and also some rough weather delayed the process. However, on July 15 after between three and 5.2 million barrels (117.6 million and 189 million gallons) had gushed out, a cap stopped the flow.

British Petroleum, who responsible for the operations of the Deepwater Horizon offshore rig, outgoing CEO Tony Hayward has become one of the most hated men in the USA. Hayward has become the face responsible for United State's worst environmental disaster.

However, British Petroleum's newly appointed chief executive Bob Dudley, the American in charge of the Gulf Coast Restoration Organization which responds to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, said after his appointment as CEO of BP, his top priority as BP CEO is to permanently seal the Gulf well, contain the crude spill and to clean up and restore the area's beaches.
