    An oil spill occurred in the Gulf of Mexico from a ship. Scientists observed microbes in the Gulf of Mexico consuming methane at the highest recorded rates in seawater, indicating microbes may break down oil spill waste more than previously thought. The document defines an oil spill as the release of liquid petroleum hydrocarbons into the environment through human activity, which pollutes the environment.
