Oil Spills can be really dangerous for the exosystems. They can damage animals, as well as the human health it self. And the most hard thing is fixing all the mess that has been done.
Although the solutions for the oil spill are difficult tu aply, because its a major disaster many people have come up with posssible solutions such as:Using a Magnetic plug, perhaps with a rubber seal around it the diameter of the pipe. Other solution is to crush the pipe flat and crimp it off. Or even pump the oil waters into the tanks from Gulf using a high powered pump.
A popular method to clean up oil spills is to skim it from the water using skimming equipment with fine filtering systems. Another of the tons of options is adding dispersants which are chemicals that break down the tension that keeps oil and water separated. When oil is sprayed with a dispersant, the oil collects in smaller droplets and sinks. This allows for greater natural breakdown. Also if they could insert a one way plug into the pipe where it could be inserted into the pipe to a depth that would give it a chance to move a small amount on the way back out but would start to spread open and wedge itself in to the side walls of the pipe with the pressure from the oil on the way out with more pressure the tighter the wedge.
The best thing that we can do is DO SOMETHING! istead of not doing anything about it.
