15 years after Deepwater Horizon oil spill, lawsuits stall and restoration is incomplete

SUMMARY: Fifteen years after the Deepwater Horizon spill, its effects persist in the Gulf Coast. BP paid billions in damages, funding coastal restoration projects, but health-related lawsuits from cleanup workers and locals have struggled in court, with few compensations. Environmental efforts have made progress, with over 300 restoration projects worth $5.38 billion. However, a flagship land-creation project in Louisiana has stalled, sparking controversy over its effects on local industries. Additionally, the Trump administration plans to expand offshore drilling despite warnings about the legacy of the spill. Environmental advocates remain concerned about the future of the Gulf’s restoration.
