In April 2010, an oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. Millions of gallons of oil leaked into the Gulf, devastating wildlife. Scientists tried to clean up the spill in a variety of ways. One approach involved the use of oil-eating bacteria. However, scientists were divided on its effectiveness. Some maintained that the bacteria were "fairly fast" in cleaning the spill. Officials reported that the Gulf would make a full recovery by 2012. Yet Samantha Joye, a marine scientist, disagreed. She conducted a study of the sea floor. She found that the bacteria had cleaned only 10 percent of the oil. She reported that the Gulf would take many years to recover.
