Green Groups Sue Trump Administration for Reviewing Deepwater Horizon Damages
Conservation groups sued the Trump administration Wednesday, arguing it failed to fully consider the effects on endangered species when reviewing the environmental damage caused by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
The 2010 spill in the Gulf of Mexico spurred a new evaluation of how species were faring after the spill.
That new biological opinion took a decade to complete, with many of the same environmental groups in 2018 suing the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) for failure to do so.
