We’re seeing all kinds of problems, shrimp with no eyes and no baby fish. Boats are reporting five and six dead dolphins a day. Our beach is producing less than 1 percent of the shrimp (of normal catches). Grand Isle used to be the best fishing grounds in the country. Our bay is full of oil and our beach is dead they’ve used so many dispersants….I don’t think we’ll have a fishing industry here in two or three years. Everyone is running out of money…I’d rather have 100 Katrinas than one BP spill.

Dean Blanchard, Grand Isle, LA. Once one of the largest shrimp buyers on the Gulf coast, his business has been decimated by crude contamination that continues to roll in on his beach community that is closest to the BP Horizon well. I really wish there was more mainstream coverage of the aftermath of the BP oil spill. -Jess (via stfuconservatives) |
