It is far too early to assess the ecological damage and economic losses to fisheries and tourism from the Deepwater Horizon spill. It is a safe bet that shrimp and squid populations will suffer, as they did in the Ixtoc case, but so is a close-to-complete recovery within a limited number of years.
评估“深水地平线”漏油事故所造成的生态破坏给渔业和旅游业造成的经济损失仍然为时过早。 但几乎可以肯定虾类和乌贼种群将像“伊克斯托克”油井事故中那样受到打击，但只需几年时间这种影响即可恢复如初。
