Concerning the new find by BP in the gulf

So it's been a few years since the big spill. Being somewhat removed from Gulf coast news, how is all the doom and gloom of the after effects of the spill coming along? The government and environmentalist groups said the gulf would die a slow death because of the spill. Since we've seen nothing in the news about it for quite some time now, I'd assume the Chicken Little mantra was wasted breath.
Is this really happening or was this just more bluster by them in assessing the spill.

The Gulf will be fine. There will always be effects. There are still effects in Alaska from 25? years ago.

The one thing I know is that crab populations are being affected still. My dad lives in Ocean Springs, and he used to catch 2-3 dozen crabs routinely every week. Now he's lucky to get half a dozen.

I'd say that probably has more to do with overfishing than the oil spill

They have slowed quite a bit over here to, Pensacola area.
I support the President.

Absolutely. The crab population is gone. It's sad, and it ain't overfishing.

The professionals must be doing better with shrimp and crab but I wonder if they have seen a sparse change?

This isn't political

I have been crabbing in this location for 8 years. I noticed the drop off before the Spill, though I am sure the Spill did not help things.

I said the Gulf will be fine. There are still effects. Period.

The dispersant that BP was using to improve the visuals was so much more harmful than the actual oil

It's always seemed kinda obvious to me that the more water sociable you make oil, them more bio-available it is to the water-borne environment.
But let's face it. A lot of "environmental" regulation is more about appearance than substance.

This scares me, considering the massive environmental catastrophe of the Great BP Spill of 2010.
It's greed, and the underlying reality that big corporations are villainous, from Big Tobacco, to Big Pharma, to Big Insurance pulling out of the exchanges, to Big Chemical causing serious health issues all up and down the Lower Mississippi, to Walmart winning court cases to evict a single mother from her home to make profits.
And now BP, the worst polluter on the planet, is actually suggesting ruining the Gulf for a second time. Villainy!

The daily amount of natural seepage of oil in the GOM for the past million yrs is very substantial so yeah the second part of your statement is silly.

Get off your high horse youfairy, using your GREAT BP SPILL OF 2010.
If you think all these big companies are so bad, stop using any by product of crude oil and let me know how that works out.
Oil is an organic compounds made by natural processes in the Earth,and can be decomposed over time by organic processes. Fisheries are getting destroyed from over fishing primarily, partially by the oil spill.
They had shrimp boats coming into Delacroix with full baskets and up to the gunnels full of shrimp 2 years after the spill.
