The Macondo Well oil spill, which erupted in early April 2010, has been successfully stopped by a cement plug placed by BP. Officials are optimistic that the plug will hold, and that the oil spill no longer poses a threat to the Gulf of Mexico at present, according to Adm. Allen. Although oil is no longer leaking into the gulf, the effects of the oil on wildlife are yet to be seen.
