Strange creatures are showing up by the millions along the coast

This brings back memories of gulf oil spill back in April 20, 2010. The Deepwater Horizon oil spill, also known as the BP oil spill, occurred on April 20, 2010, off the coast of the United States in the Gulf of Mexico. 

The spill resulted from an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, which was operated by BP. It is considered the largest marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry, estimated to be 8 to 31 percent larger in volume than the previous largest spill, the Ixtoc I oil spill. The total discharge was approximately 4.9 million barrels (210 million US gallons; 780,000 cubic meters) of oil. After several failed containment efforts, the well was sealed on September 19, 2010. The disaster had significant environmental and economic impacts, affecting natural resources and recreation in the region.

The Gulf oil spill, also known as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, occurred in 2010. During this environmental disaster, Corexit, an oil dispersant, was used extensively to break up the oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico. Corexit is a product line produced by Nalco Holding Company, an indirect subsidiary of Ecolab. It was originally developed by the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey and is typically applied by aerial spraying or directly onto the oil slick from ships. Despite its use, studies have indicated that Corexit is toxic to marine life and can have negative effects on the environment.

After the deployment of Corexit, the appearance of large orange tube Pyrosomes showed up around the leaking rig.
