Abstract
Chairwoman Bordallo and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to be here today to discuss the impacts of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill on fish and wildlife and their habitat in the Gulf of Mexico, and the Administration’s ongoing response. Before I begin, I would like to take a moment to express my condolences to the families of those who lost their lives, to those who were injured in the explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon, and to those whose livelihoods are being devastated by this oil spill.
