Thirteen Years After Deepwater Horizon, Restoration Makes Progress
Through the cooperation and coordination of five states, four federal agencies, numerous partners, and thousands of deeply committed individuals, strong restoration progress continues in the Gulf of Mexico 13 years after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill which occurred on April 20, 2010.
As of the end of 2022, the Trustee Implementation Groups have allocated over $4 billion to more than 280 projects across the Gulf.
In the last year, the Trustees have been hard at work finalizing new plans and implementing projects to restore natural resources, habitat, and lost recreational use.
