Yes, the BP oil spill of April 20, 2010 in the Mexican Gulf harmed Louisianans and their state. The initial, explosive event took place about 41 miles [66 kilometers] off the state's southeastern coast. Louisianans are dealing with the psychological stress of knowing that 17 employees were injured and that 11 platform workers died off their coastline. They also are dealing with the economic challenges of the spill's disruption of regular and routine transportation, sea and seaside activities on personal and professional levels, and standard business and environmental interactions.

What are some basic details about the gulf oil spill and sea turtles?

I have included three websites. Your question is quite general. There are details in these links that will answer many questions, such as: 1) What types of turtles were harmed? 2) How does oil harm the turtle? 3) What is the rehabilitation of an oiled turtle? The timing of the oil spill has an impact on the damage done to turtle populations as if the spill occurs during the time of egg laying, there will fewer eggs. I also note that turtles are more vulnerable than other mammals because they do not avoid water where spills have occurred. See related links.
