Can you elaborate on how DWH caused that island in the 6 year time lapse picture you posted to shrink?
The picture is misleading in the story and the OP. This was Cat Island in 2010 during the disaster:
And while it has lost significant vegetation due to the spill which exacerbated the erosion problems, it isn't noticeably worse off because of the spill.
The BP Spill is one of these textbook cases where the truth about the event and the effects are bad enough, but people still feel the need to exaggerate almost all of the claims.
ETA: For reference, this is what it looked like in 2006. This was obviously a severe problem well before BP.
