Barely a year has passed since one of the worst oil disasters in living memory off the coast of Mexico : the Deepwater Horizon oil rig went up in flames and hundreds of thousands of tons of crude oil spilled into the sea.

Apart from causing devastating damage on the seabed and endangering marine life, various stretches of coast were also polluted by the oil spill.
