BP's Long Term Effects on Sea Life in the Gulf

A Normal healthy shrimp

Now, see what the BP's negligence and greed have wrought on the Gulf of Mexico

(remember, your government has gone on record saying Gulf Seafood is safe to eat!)

YUM!

Half of all oysters sold in the U.S. used to come from Louisiana's waters
but now the supply is down to one-fifth as the Louisiana Oyster harvest was cut in half in 2010 (hitting a 44 year low).

Yummy shrimp with head tumors! Are they crunchy? Are they soft? Mmmmmm!

Gulf lobsters come with pre-blackened gills from now on...

Dr. Jim Cowan of Louisiana State University's Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences thinks that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from BP's submerged oil is causing the high frequency of lesions (red snapper).

Abnormal red snapper.

 There are no more "normal" red snapper in the Gulf

More delicious shrimp tumors. Edible?

Bloated with oil.

What BP and their partners--TransOcean and Halliburton--have caused with their negligence is a wholesale environmental catastrophe, irreversible; negligence at every single step from preparing to drill in deep water, to the fake clean-up effort it made by sinking all the oil to the ocean floor, and not even capping the well. Oil slicks are still being spotted all around where Deepwater Horizon exploded. And the government says all these poor wretched creatures above are fit to eat.

BP's disaster has killed the Gulf Seafood industry, the organisms who once were the seafood (shrimp, crabs, fish), the ecosystem that was the spawning origins of several species--all gone. BP's disaster was an extinction event, destroying more livelihoods, lives and animal species than can ever be accounted for. And BP makes record profits 2 years later, as Gulf residents continue to die from the toxins they were exposed to.
