Oil spills are very devastating to the environment. Not only will the oil kill everything it comes into contact with, it will do serious harm to the food chain as well. This oil spill is something that is going to take years, if not generations, to clean up and recover from. In some places the damage will most likely be permanent and irreversible.
Coastal marshes in Louisiana are at great risk. There is a lot of marine life there and many fisherman rely on these areas as well.
The beaches that have been affected by the oil spill will be out of commission for a very long time. The previous post was right on the money-the use of the beaches is going to be of the least concern. The overall effects of this spill are going to be astronomical.
