MY Arctic Sunrise Gulf Oil Expedition

The Greenpeace Ship, the MY Arctic Sunrise, hosted teams of independent scientists conducting research projects to examine the effects of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill and chemical dispersant used to treat it on the environment of the Gulf of Mexico. On this leg of the three month long voyage, scientists retrieved environmental acoustic recording devices that been placed in the deep waters. Data from the recordings will be compared against earlier recordings from the same locations to look for evidence of impacts on the endangered sperm whale population.
