The expansive oil spill off the Gulf of Mexico is threatening the way of life of the people in the state of Louisiana, Governor Bobby Jindal warned.

Environmentalists and the people involved in containing the massive oil slick said that the devastations had tripled in just days.

U.S. President Barack Obama is scheduled to visit the site to assess the damage.

Meanwhile, attorneys general from five affected U.S. states are set to meet anytime to determine any legal action to be taken against BP, the operator of the Deepwater Horizon rig which sank on April 22, two days after an explosion that also resulted to the death of 11 workers.

Jindal will also meet with Obama to discuss the latest disaster to hit the U.S. The President vowed to let BP face full responsibility for the oil slick.

The Republican governor told reporters at a news conference, "This oil spill threatens not only our wetlands and our fishers, but also our way of life."

He also said that he has yet to receive any detailed plans from the British energy giant on how to contain the oil spill.

People involved in the clean up and control of the spill complained of rough seas and strong winds that are hampering their operations.

The governor called on BP to finance any clean up plans and to protect coastal communities. He made this appeal as sheen from the slick began to be washed up on the shore.

BP chief executive Tony Haywayd is expected to arrive in Louisiana on Sunday. He earlier promised to honor all claims for damages as a result of the oil spill.
