200,000 Gallons A Day

Hi all:
These pictures were taken by a friend, on his Turtle Walk this morning at the State Park beach. Trying to keep you all informed of the mess. Another friend has pictures of the beach in Pensacola with oil buried 6 inches before the surface. So very sad and depressing.



Not a pleasant morning for our Turtle Walk along the beach at Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, AL.

Saw no turtle tracks nor turtles. Found much oil and a dead sea bird instead.

Oh wow, those pictures are worst than any I've seen on TV. They can
clean all they want, but it will never be the same beautiful place it was.

I have been awaiting the Super Duper Giant Skimmer from Tawian.

I thought that it was as big as a whale.


No stupid, the name of the ship is A Whale.

I have to start reading my news.

I wish the stormy seas would calm down. I really hope this thing works (WHALE)
as well as they say it could. It would be a big help in cleaning the water.

This is birthing season for Dolphins, Sea Turtles, and many species of Water
Birds.


Mean while, it keeps on gushing......

They've been taking some of the turtle eggs to NASA to see if they can save them. Not sure what they can do but sure hope they can do something.

What is this day 78 now? Fix the darn thing already!!!

For the Whale to work it has to have oil floating on the water. They have used
so much dispersant on the spill it will be hard for the skimmer to do an effective job. The dispersant just makes the cleanup that much harder. The only thing it accomplishes is to hide the evidence from clear view.

That's true. They are supposed to position the WHALE closer to the spill
itself, and siphon it directly into the ship.That should help some. I hope.

Yeah, I read about that. They say they don't know if it will work because
the hatchings will instinctly want to go back to their nesting area & the water there is deadly for them.What a mess we humans have made.

All of the Gulf coast states are effected now. Once the Gulf stream picks up on the oil it will impact most every coastal state on the east coast, plus Nova Scotia ,Canada, then we can expect it to effect Norway and the British isles by this time next year. The recirculating currents from West Africa will bring it back again with one of the tropical waves next fall. This spill will change the world as we knew it. BP does not have enough money to withstand the economic fallout that this spill will bring.
