June 2010

In June 2010 the oil from the BP explosion in the Gulf of Mexico had saturated our coastline in southeastern Louisiana and reeked havoc with our fish, shrimp and crab estuaries and our oyster beds. Our pelicans, enjoying their nesting season on our barrier islands were saturated with oil as they dove for fish in the Gulf to feed their young. Hundreds died. Some were rescued and cleaned and released in Texas and Florida but the babies were left to starve in the nests. Sea turtles and all sea life was terribly affected by the oil. It will take decades, if ever, to restore life as we knew it. Thousands of fishermen are out of jobs and the waters are closed.
