Mexican waters of the NW GoM were monitored during and after the DWH oil spill. Interannual changes in macrobenthic communities structure were detected. Interannual variability was observed in the sedimentary conditions. ABC curves revealed a progressive increase in the degree of environmental stress. An increasing trend in trace-metals and oil-related hydrocarbons was detected.
