Belugas are not generally thought of as deep-diving marine mammals‚ but they are capable of diving to extreme depths. Under experimental conditions a trained beluga whale repeatedly dove to 400 m (1‚312 ft.) with ease‚ and even dove to a depth of 647 m (2‚123 ft.) (Nowak‚ 1991; Ridgway et. al.‚ 1984).

(Pallardy‚ 2016) Oil spills can cause long-term environmental damage and can affect marine mammals‚ such as dolphins. Additional research is needed to understand the impact of oil spills on marine mammals in the Gulf of Mexico. Oil spills can last for decades after the spill has occurred.
