| Summary |
The Commission's full report details the complex web of decisions, actions, and circumstances that set the stage for the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster. Among the chief actors in that web was the government itself, which played a key role both in setting the policies that shaped offshore oil and gas activities in the Gulf over the course of many decades, and in overseeing responses to the spill once it began. This report presents the Commission's complete recommendations for addressing the causes and consequences of the spill. |
