Oil spill threatens fragile, resource-rich Louisiana wetlands

The recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has destroyed habitats and lives of coastal and marine wildlife. Covering beaches, birds, turtles, fish, and other wildlife. The oil spill has damaged Louisiana's marshland, which is a rich breeding ground for many animals. These marshes will take years to recover from the oil spill, but wildlife officials are tying their best to clean up the marshes. In wildlife centers, the oil on birds are being cleaned off by volunteers and sent back into the wild. Many people are working together to make the Gulf and surrounding areas oil free.
