The culprit for the erosion is the flood control structures that have been in place for 100 years on the Mississippi River. It really isn't deniable.
Does the O&G industry help? No, no it doesn't, but they're not the main problem.
For proof, look at the Atchafalaya River and Wax Lake Outlet deltas from 1984 to 2012...

I still remember how they tried to say how few barrels were spilling every day, only for the number to climb and climb until it was all of "millions of barrels a day"
I would love to see a well that is capable of making "millions of barrels a day". That would be quite a feat.

OP is a derp. He showed it off yesterday in his tiger attack thread. No need to even engage him.

I know this. Doesn't mean they weren't effected in some way. This thing was soooooo bad that we haven't even touched the surface of the damage it has caused. The damage don't to the fragile ego-system in the gulf is gonna be mind boggling. Just think about how much oil came from that well and into the water. Where did it all go????? There is still oil out there.

I seriously busted out laughing reading this coming from you. I can imagine you passing on crawfish at a boil because of the oil spill. I mean WTF.

The picture is misleading in the story and the OP.
"Misleading" is putting it mildly. I'd put it in the category of a "damned lie".
The EDF is a bunch of turds. They are famous for these bs propaganda pieces. I quit reading when I saw they wrote the article.

I'm not sure, but to think it went upstream is asinine.

It really is frustrating. The hyperbole turns people off to what is a serious problem. One of the more frustrating things out there is when people exaggerate claims when the truth is bad enough.

Like any kind from anywhere? Like you wouldn't eat a lobster from Maine? And if you were getting your catfish from the saltwater gulf, I don't blame you for not eating seafood, sounds like you have no idea what's good to eat and what's not.
The Horizon incident had a pretty big affect on me. As someone from coastal LA who loves to fish, and also someone who had a job lined up with an O&G company just waiting to graduate. Luckily I didn't have my job offer pulled. I can't stand the way the oilfield treats our marsh. But I really don't think this oil spill had 1/1000th of a percent of the affect that other things done by the oilfield have done. Cutting all the canals in the marsh killed it. I blame them for that. But the barrier Islands have been disappearing for a very long time. I have definitely fished in a boat places that we used to be able to get out of the boat and walk on land in my lifetime. And that all happened before the spill. To be honest, as far as the immediate affects with how I interact with the gulf, I haven't seen a difference outside of that summer. Don't seem to see lower fish numbers, shrimp numbers, or less birds flying. There may have been a huge affect, but not so much that it can't/hasn't recovered.

it definitely seeped into all those commercial catfish ponds

I fish just to the east of there. I have seen lots of changes in that time.

An oil leak was discovered on the afternoon of 22 April when a large oil slick began to spread at the former rig site.[42] The oil flowed for 87 days. BP originally estimated a flow rate of 1,000 to 5,000 barrels per day (160 to 790 m3/d). The Flow Rate Technical Group (FRTG) estimated the flow rate was 62,000 barrels per day (9,900 m3/d).[43][44][45] The total estimated volume of leaked oil approximated 4.9 million barrels (210 million US gal; 780,000 m3) with plus or minus 10% uncertainty,[3] including oil that was collected,[46] making it the world’s largest accidental spill.[6][47] BP challenged the higher figure, saying that the government overestimated the volume. Internal emails released in 2013 showed that one BP employee had estimates that matched those of the FRTG, and shared the data with supervisors, but BP continued with their lower number.[48][49] The company argued that government figures do not reflect over 810,000 barrels (34 million US gal; 129,000 m3) of oil that was collected or burned before it could enter the Gulf waters
Forgive me for not having all the facts before I came to the OT....

I never said anything about the island, just included the pic that was in the article.

Was that stuff you quoted supposed to make you look smarter?
Last I checked there is a monumental difference between 62k barrels/day and 1,000,000 barrels/day.
