The Loop has broken off into an eddy, so, for the moment the oil is trapped in the Gulf and being moved around it There is no way of knowing what will be safe now.
]]>Of course, this thing is going to make it into the loop current and eventually wipe out those shrimp too, given the way things are going…

The declining red fish population was already a problem before the spill and now its will be in free fall.
They are going to turn the Gulf into a breading ground for mosquitoes and surface algae.

We are used to recovering from hurricanes and wildfires, but we just aren’t prepared for this. There is no good choice of what to do with the oil. The longer it is in the Gulf, the more of the eco-system it destroys, and if it comes ashore different eco-systems are wiped out. If any of the systems are destroyed, the whole will suffer.
The Houma don’t have, ask for, or need much, but they do need their bayous and gardens. The oil will destroy both and money can’t replace them.
None of the extraction corporations are worth spit. They take and give nothing in return but pollution and death.
