1 The Deepwater Horizon oil spill s impact: Extending science for collaborative management Christine Hale Sea Grant Oil Spill Science Outreach Program GCFI 2016
2 Deepwater Horizon oil spill April 20, people killed Oil flowed for 87 days 200 million gallons oil 1.84 million gallons dispersant Source: Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA)
3 Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative $500 million, 10-year investment Goal - Improve society s ability to understand, respond to, and mitigate the effects of petroleum pollution and related stressors Focus areas: 1. How do oil and dispersants move around the environment? 2. How do oil and dispersants break down over time? 3. How do oil and dispersants impact the environment? 4. How can technology be improved? 5. How do oil spills impact people? Learn more at gulfresearchinitiative.org Photos: GoMRI
4 What is Sea Grant? Mission: Enhance the practical use and conservation of coastal, marine and Great Lakes resources in order to create a sustainable economy and environment University-based programs (33) Partially funded by NOAA and states Three areas of emphasis Research Education Extension Service-oriented Trusted/non-advocacy honest brokers 50 years of serving the nation s coasts

7 Oil Spill Science Outreach products Sharing peer-reviewed, published science Science outreach publications Focused on science topics identified by our audiences Fisheries management Seafood testing Series about dispersants Frequently asked questions Oil on our beaches Fish health Impacts on fisheries
8 Oil Spill Science Outreach products Sharing peer-reviewed, published science Science seminars & input sessions Presentations by experts Continue to identify needs of audiences
9 Ecosystem Impacts
10 Understanding fisheries impacts from oil spills: 3 level approach How do oil spills impact many different kinds of living things in an area or habitat? How do oil spills impact a group of living things of the same species? How do oil spills impact individuals?
11 Individual fish impacts FISH are good at breaking down the bad stuff in oil! Oil metabolizing gene (CYP1A) triggers production of proteins that will breakdown PAHs in fish Animals without CYP1A bioaccumulate CYP1A is a biomarker for oil exposure in fish BUT chemicals in oil can cause: Decreased swimming speed Decreased size Deformities Sensitivity and impact varies by fish life stage/age, & concentration of oil Mager et al. 2014; Incardona et al. 2014; Dubansky et al A. Bullard B. Dubansky
12 Individual fish impacts Did the Deepwater Horizon oil spill cause skin lesions on fish? There was an increase in skin lesions on offshore marine fish There was an increase in PAHs in locations with lesioned fish during the same time period The PAHs found in the lesioned fish were similar to the PAHs in DWH oil samples, but it is not 100% certain that DWH oil caused the lesions Murawski et al. 2014
13 Population impacts van der Ham & der Mutsert 2014
14 Community Impacts Pre-spill normal diet : shrimp, crabs, squid but also a 15 20% zooplankton Post-spill diet shift attributed to DWH more fish & crustaceans and less zooplankton Tarnecki & Patterson 2015
15 Community Impacts Deep sea fish are exposed to PAHs in different ways Fish habitat and fish behavior play a key role in exposure Oiled sediments exposed golden tilefish to higher levels of PAH for a few years after the oil spill Episodic exposure; source of PAH not determined (art by Able, Grimes & Jones) Snyder et al. 2015
16 Oil spill planning & management Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary 2016 workshop

20 Science and Information Needs for Gulf and Caribbean Regional Stakeholders Christine Hale Sea Grant Oil Spill Science Outreach Program GCFI 2016
21 We want your input! What oil spill-related information needs do you or your communities have? Have you or your communities been affected by an oil spill? How? Are you involved in oil spill response, management, policy, or research? How do you envision collaborating across the region?
