Scuba team discovers damage from BP oil spill in FL - July 12, 2011

During scuba assessments on July 12th 2011, the Florida panhandle shallow seafloor sediment shows signs of widespread presence of dispersed oil.

A team of research divers scoured the Florida panhandle looking for signs of BP oil. What they did find was a desolate seafloor, with few signs of life. The sand should be tan or white and look like a desert floor with ripples and ridges of tan sand.

Marine life should be attracted to the disturbance of bottom sediments, with small fish darting into the cloud of silt and crabs scurrying away to bury themselves in hiding. Rays and starfish should be abundant. What they filmed was a scene of dark desolate bottom sediment where dark sediment ejected from the animal burrows sat in piles of contrasting colors caused by contamination from the BP oil spill.

@danman911 how so? It is not mentioned in this report.

It is SO comforting to hear professionals seeing this and speaking on it. I have been tracking this event and it's trails since day 1. I watched the reports slip off after 3 days.

The Corexit is still being used. People are sick, and dying along w/animals + plants!

Have you seen all the mysterious deaths of the activists? I hope this guy sees Jesse Ventura's video on the gulf spill, as well as Kindra Arnesen, Riki Ott, Dr. Rodney Soto, and many others working FOR the gulf since the B.P. spill.
