The Gulf of Mexico is an open and dynamic marine ecosystem rich in natural resources but heavily impacted by human activities, including agricultural, industrial, commercial and coastal development. The Gulf of Mexico has been continuously exposed to petroleum hydrocarbons for millions of years from natural oil and gas seeps on the sea floor, and more recently from oil drilling and production activities located in the water near and far from shore. Major accidental oil spills in the Gulf are infrequent; two of the most significant include the Ixtoc I blowout in the Bay of Campeche in 1979 and the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in 2010. Unfortunately, baseline assessments of the status of habitats and biota in the Gulf of Mexico before these spills either were not available, or the data had not been systematically compiled in a way that would help scientists assess the potential short-term and long-term effects of such events. This 2-volume series compiles and summarizes thousands of data sets showing the status of habitats and biota in the Gulf of Mexico before the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. Volume 1 covers: water and sediment quality and contaminants in the Gulf; natural oil and gas seeps in the Gulf of Mexico; coastal habitats, including flora and fauna and coastal geology; offshore benthos and plankton, with an analysis of current knowledge on energy capture and energy flows in the Gulf; and shellfish and finfish resources that provide the basis for commercial and recreational fisheries.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) blowout, in the Gulf of Mexico, heavily contaminated miles of sandy beaches. Previous experience of petroleum contamination has shown that oil residues can persist in the sediments for decades. Biodegradation is the major mechanism of remediation regarding petroleum hydrocarbons. There is an urgent need to evaluate the competent indigenous microbial biomass in contaminated sediments if the risks posed by toxic oil residues, for the coastal ecosystem, are to be minimized. We report a field investigation during December 2010 and January 2011 regarding measurement of microbial activity in a sandy beach at the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge in Alabama. One transect of wells for sampling was installed in the beach; starting with multiport one, being most landward and thought to be least exposed to oil residue and ending with multiport four being the most seaward and exposed to the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Sediment samples were collected from different depths purposely chosen from above, inside, and below the oil layers for microbial analysis. Dissolved oxygen (DO) measurements were obtained and temperature was recorded while collecting the oxygen measurements. Pore water samples were collected for nutrient content and were monitored using the multiport sampling wells. Moisture content was analyzed from the sediments extracted at various depths at each well. pH and salinity were also analyzed for their contributing affect on the microbial community. Grain size distribution analyses were conducted on samples collected at all wells and at multiple depths to characterize the field study location. Results show that the bacterial biomass, as measured by Adenosine-5-triphosphate (ATP) and numbers of alkane and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degraders determined by Most Probable Number (MPN), are consistently higher in the sediment layers where oil had been detected. A very good correlation was observed among the relative abundance of bacteria in the different samples using MPN and ATP measurements. As expected, ATP based estimates of the microbial populations were two orders of magnitude higher than the alkane and PAH numbers determined by MPN, which reflect the non-cultivability of most environmental bacteria. The lower concentrations of PAH degraders than alkane degraders that were observed in this study are consistent with other studies, even though both populations are lower than in studies involving fresh oil trapped in beach or wetland sediments. PAHs (aromatics) are notoriously more resistant to biodegradation than alkanes, therefore allowing a lower number of biomass to grow using them. The overall smaller size of the bacterial numbers could be explained by the naturally occurring low-organic content of beach sand. On the other hand, this may be due to the highly weathered nature of the oil or it could reflect some other limitation.
