As one who lives on the Gulf and is deeply concerned with what the human race is doing to this planet, I applaud this video. It sickens me that, though the scientific community learned from the Panama spill, nobody else did. The wetlands, which should have been instantly barricaded at the mere *threat* of oil, were ignored by those in authority until it was too late. And they now lie in ruin. Destroyed. I wanted to scream as I saw it happening, knowing that they won't live again for generations.
@anmoose Thanks for your heartfelt comment. We’re glad you found the video interesting, and we hope you’ll visit the oil spill section on the Ocean Portal and share your thoughts with us there as well: ocean.si.edu/ocean-and-you/gulf-oil-spill/
