While the spotlight was on offshore drilling, fracking quietly made its way into our oceans – ThinkProgress

'The Deepwater Horizon spill was the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history, but it’s hardly the only spill the Gulf has had to deal with. '

'During fracking, on or offshore, chemical-laced water is injected at high pressure into shale formations below ground. '

'The Gulf of Mexico has been struggling with the pollution from offshore oil drilling for a long time, a struggle that was dramatically highlighted by the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill six years ago. '

'But now it has come to light that the oil industry is conducting offshore fracking in the Gulf, which is even more dangerous than conventional oil drilling, according to the Center for Biological Diversity. '

'The group received copies of more than a thousand fracking permits from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) following a court order. '
