It's been 10 years since the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history: the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Here's how the Gulf Coast is recovering.

Photographer Tyrone Turner documented the life and changes on Cat Island in the southeastern coastal area of the state before it disappeared.

The offshore drilling industry now has equipment on standby to respond to a similar emergency. But critics says stronger regulation is still needed to prevent another massive oil spill.

Eight years after the deadly Deepwater Horizon explosion, a safety watchdog aims to prevent another disaster. But it faces multiple challenges, and a shift in focus under the Trump administration.

On the surface it doesn't sound like much, but the oil giant BP opening a gas station in the outskirts of Mexico City carries symbolic importance.

Director Peter Berg's movie about the massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico ratchets up the cinematic tension, but quickly devolves into rote disaster-movie cliches.

Peter Berg discusses his new film, which recreates the final hours of the oil rig that exploded and sank, causing the BP oil spill. Eleven rig workers died trying to prevent the disaster.

Gulf states are starting to spend the first of billions from BP's settlements and fines for the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history — but not all the money is being used for restoration.

Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch calls the deal "the largest settlement with a single entity in American history."

Five years after the Justice Department vowed to hold people accountable for the largest oil spill in U.S. history, its prosecution of BP executives has foundered.
