February 27, 2014 Charleston, South Carolina - In the December 18th issue of Environmental Science & Technology, eighteen marine researchers contributed to a study of dolphins in Louisiana's Barataria Bay, heavily contaminated by the British Petroleum (BP) Deepwater Horizon massive oil spill from April 20 to July 15, 2010, and closed off by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries after the BP oil spill. But dolphins continued to travel through the oil soaked waters in Barataria Bay.

Petroleum (BP) Deepwater Horizon massive oil spill from April 20 to July 15, 2010.
The study found that nearly half of the bottlenose dolphins in Barataria Bay tested a year after the BP oil spill in mid-2011 were in "guarded or worse" condition. Of those, 17% were not expected to survive
