An explosion at the Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig on April 20, 2010 precipitated an ongoing leak and resultant oil spill that has expanded into Florida waters (which were protected by a state moratorium on offshore drilling) and threatens the beaches and wildlife habitats — and by extension, the tourism and fishing industries — of Northwest Florida.
