BP Oil Disaster Update #1

DRILLED BY BP: OIL DISASTER THREATENS GULF OF MEXICO AND COASTAL COMMUNITIES

How does one capture the drama of a slow-moving train wreck? We all want to look away from the mercurial unraveling of the Deep Water Horizon story, but as fingers of rainbow sheen and large tar balls begin washing up on the wetlands and in the passes of Louisiana from the Chandeluer Islands to Cocodrie Peninsula, we cant. Were riveted. We want answers. We want solutions. We want explanation.

Capt. Jon Brett, (Director of FishbuzzTV and Snook Foundation Florida Gulf Coast Director) and Capt. Brandon Shuler (Snook FOundation Texas Director) will be on the ground collecting the stories that interest of all gulf coast anglers and residents. We will tell the underrepresented side of the news. We will capture the devastation this spill will create as it encroaches and infuses into the delicate wetlands and marshes of Louisiana, and the rest of the vital GUlf coast nursery habitat for snook, grouper, tarpon, bonefish, snapper and hundreds of other species and wildlife.

These wetlands and nurseries are disappearing from the Louisiana coast and Mississippi River delta at the alarming rate of 500 square yards every 45 minutes and represent the breeding grounds which supply 25% of the nations seafood production.

We're hoping to capture the stories of the Gulf coast shrimper and fishermen as they watch their livelihoods attacked by another, yet this time man-made, disaster. We have witnessed and tried to unravel the frustrating rumors that run rampant through these little fishing communities who tie their entire financial well-being to the bounty of a healthy eco-system. Every glimmer of hope or shadow of doom sends the scuttlebutts roaring and emotions run raw and frightened to elated and hopeful.Our aim is to provide quality updates through the www.DrilledByBP.com blog and video website, as well as our social media page here on Facebook. We are posting daily updates and video stories to give an accurate portrayal of the events as they unfold.

@saraa49 Here come the conspiracy theories.

if the c.e.o.s of btard, hallitard & transtard were all tied to the back of the same car & dragged to death in the streets of New Orleans people would finally get the message & become competent. as it stands now we are a nation of 96 quadrillion inane laws whose judicial system works slowly & carefully towards the goal of never getting anything resolved. as long as we stay so civitarded we will continue to fail.

It is conspiracy; therefore Obama stopped offshore oil drilling in USA. Obviously it is a terrorist attack on U.S oils to keep the Arab oils stable.

It is planned in advance; the U.S will stop oil drilling and will keep buying oil from muslim countries; Unless the Americans protest & demand to stop buying Arabian oil.

[saraa49]

The revenue of the Arabian oil supports terrorists. They could stop the oil leak in the same day but they wanted to look like tragedy to stop offshore oil drilling to keep the Arabian oils stable & to make the west always beg for this energy. It is planed in advance to support terrorisms in the west till the west submit to sharia law of islam. Wake up America before you lose your nation
