    • Abstract:
      The article reports on the Chevron Oil Co. oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico in 1970. After more than five weeks since Chevron's platform caught fire in the Gulf, a cleanup team has been trying to prevent the oil from reaching the shore and from causing damage to the oyster and shrimp industries in Louisiana. The article reveals that hundreds of offshore oil wells operating in the Gulf do not have key safety equipment to prevent similar pollution disasters.
