The Gulf of Mexico is home to abundant and thriving marine life. The coastline of its border states is a myriad of delicate ecological systems, from pristine sugar-white beaches to complex and fragile salt-water wetlands.
The Gulf is both a gateway for and a producer of crude oil, vital to the national security and economic prosperity of the United States.

Dispersants simply accelerate the natural process. They contain surfactants dissolved in solvent, and when applied to the treated oil, it becomes suspended in the top 5-10 meters of the water column as tiny droplets. Marine currents then distribute the oil to very low concentrations, avoiding harm to sea life. This process makes the oil highly accessible to natural hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria promoting its removal from the environment by biological processes.
