Offshore drilling : what are the dangers ?

On April 20, 2020, we commemorate the 10th anniversary of the largest oil spill in history. In 2010, the explosion of Deepwater Horizon, the deepest offshore well in the world, released 500 million litres of oil into the ocean impacting more than 400 marine species and destroying nearly 3,000 m2 of coral colonies. The tragic accident claimed the lives of 11 people. Today, despite the risks, 14 European countries continue to allow offshore drilling in EU waters. This anniversary is a unique opportunity to asses the dangers of this activity
