Highlights:<\/strong>
\u2666 Satellite photos from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show an oil slick about 2 miles (3 kilometers) outside Louisiana’s Port Fourchon,\u00a0
\u2666 It is believed that the miles-long oil spill occurred in the \u00a0Bay Marchand region in the Gulf of Mexico.
\u2666 It appears to come from an underwater source at the offshore drilling site. Damaged pipes in the bay may be the cause of the leak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
