I thought this was the best footage I have seen at all regarding the oil spill. Of course it didn’t come from a news organization, so that’s probably why. I am shocked it only has 2700 views on youtube…..you have to watch and pass on!
If you head to this boaters site and go to the PRIMO’s Oil Spill Report (scroll down to see a huge number of oil pictures, including marine life with oil) and you can also watch a 2nd video.
They go diving to check out the sea life and I cannot believe all the sharks.
Holy Crap.
Its worth the watch on that alone. Skeery.
I will never get in the ocean again. Thanks, man.
Whenever I hear someone say that the animals or fish will survive this, it reminds me of that Simpson episode where Montgomery Burns eats the 3-eyed fish. Just because fish are still swimming through it doesn’t mean it’s thriving or healthy. I sure as hell won’t eat it. The whole oil spill thing just turns my stomach.
A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about the oil spill and how it will effect our livelihood in Florida.

I think the jury is still out on his findings regarding wild life but the videos are cool.
Yeah that’s awful…We need to empower the creative capacity of the entire world to efficiently develop solutions to this crisis. I think a good way to do that is through use of a wiki like Wikipedia. http://oilspill.wikia.com is a site doing that but is not well known. The best solution is for the Unified Command to set up such a wiki and we should all call our reps in congress and demand as much. We should also demand that all relevant engineering data be released to give the motivated engineers and laypeople alike the information they need to develop the best solutions.
Not until we’ve done these things and empowered the collective intellect of the world can we begin to say all resources have been brought to bare on the crisis. The congressional switchboard number is (202)224-3121. You can call that and ask for your representative. The Unified Command suggestion number is 281.366.5511.
Wow! I watched the videos and read his report. Very interesting. It’s sad seeing all the fish and sealife. Because while they do look fine, we don’t know what’s happening to them physcially.
Just don’t know about his summary: “Bottom line is that I am no longer taking the threat so seriously. I expect “Summer-as-Usual” to be in full force.” Because his next line is:
Book a fishing trip with me and you won’t be dissappointed.(with a link to his website). Maybe just trying to keep his summer business alive?
Yes, I think so. I dont necessarily agree w/ his assessment, but I totally get what he is saying about the news too. I guess time will tell whats going to happen, but the whole footage was pretty interesting.
Unbelievably sad.
It is so awful. I was just reading more about the effects today.
It makes me so sad
Very sad.. so very sad. I can’t imagine eating something that came out of that water. Let alone myself getting in.
I have no words.
