Potter found that, in addition to tropical storms, oil pollution left behind from the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DeepwaterHorizon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DeepwaterHorizon</span></a> spill in 2010 contributed to wetland degradation in Barataria Basin. The presence of oil likely damaged the marsh’s vegetation above and below the ground, reducing the stability of the surrounding soil and making the marsh more vulnerable to erosion. Heavily oiled wetlands experienced more loss than those that were less polluted, according to Potter. He noted that oil residues were still present in the basin in 2023."</p><p><a href="https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/152778/hurricanes-have-left-their-mark-on-louisianas-wetlands" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">earthobservatory.nasa.gov/imag</span><span class="invisible">es/152778/hurricanes-have-left-their-mark-on-louisianas-wetlands</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BP</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Environment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BPLied" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BPLied</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BPIsNotSorry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BPIsNotSorry</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BPKnew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BPKnew</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigOilAndGas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigOilAndGas</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCatastrophe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCatastrophe</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ThanksBigOil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThanksBigOil</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oiligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Oiligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Louisiana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Louisiana</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GulfStates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GulfStates</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CleanUpYourMessBP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CleanUpYourMessBP</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a></p>
