Thread: USA Massive Fish Kill in LA Unbelivable Videopics

Oh no it has nothing to do with millions of gallons of oil and dispersant..

Oh, no. Not at all..

Washington's Blog


While the government denies that they are connected with the oil spill, there have been massive fishkills in Louisiana (and see this). Oil can be seen at fishkill sites (and see this), and the EPA has discovered high levels of nickel near the biggest fishkill. There have also been kills of starfish and other sea animals, including whales and dolphins:





And see this.

Here are a couple of headlines on the issue since then courtesy of Florida Oil Spill Law:

• DISPERSED OIL accumulates in menhaden fish found during massive kills, “MOST LIKELY” going to be “FATAL” — Filter feeder’s mouth “ringed with oil-like chocolate”

• Official: “We have NEVER seen large fish kills like this” NEVER this frequency PRIOR to the spill
  

• Local Official: “Millions of fish, absolutely, millions” have died in recent fishkills

• Local officials “UNCONVINCED” with State’s explanation that oil had nothing to do with huge fish kills — Taking samples to build their case

• Official: 100 local fisherman say “NO WAY” massive fish kills from just low oxygen — “ALL areas happen to have HEAVY OIL”

• “What the hell is going on in the water” says local official, “begging” feds for more tests on fish kills — “We’ve never seen so many species floating in so many different areas”

• State biologist claims massive fish kills “are NOT a concern” — Then says could be from oil-eating microbes, “I don’t know”
  

• Fisherman finding dead fish of “species they have NEVER SEEN BEFORE”
  

• State officials did NO TESTING on any dead fish from the FOUR major kills near oil-impacted areas
  

My favorite Gulf photographer - Julie Dermansky - just sent me the following photos of the third recent fishkill in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana:

The fishkill shots were taken on September 19th at Bayou Robinson, and the oil shots were taken the same day in Bay Jimmy.

Dermansky notes that the state authorities have subsequently relented, and have conducted at least some minimal testing after all.

Must of been a big sugar barge that sunk, Obama should take lessons from Thai politicians.

Those are some seriously disturbing photos. If I were of a religious bent I'd say someone was trying to get Pharaoh's attention.

Tis the consequences of choosing appearance over substance. No surprise here.

*sob* About as sad as the polar bear floating away on the little ice chunk (we all know they can't swim). 5555555555 More enviro propaganda for the leftist masses. How did the fishies get there? Sudden drought? Divine intervention then.

Have another look at the photos Jet.....you must be a windup merchant.
In real life you can't possibly be this thick...have a nice day.

^ It's just more propaganda. The enviros in California stopped the water supply to farmers and killed many businesses to protect some minnow fish -- did that work? Face it, animals have become extinct or have morphed since time began. There are disasters, both man-made and natural, all the time. We learn from them and try to improve situations. Continually blasting people and businesses who provide jobs and keep the economy going is not the answer. I'm waiting for the enviros to dream up a reason to blame people for natural disasters like volcanic eruptions. And, if Al Gore is so worried about sea levels, why did he just buy a $9 MIL home on Malibu beach? Bunch of hypocrites. Now the lefties are complaining about a new type of salmon bred to grow at a much faster pace. Well, if the world pop keeps growing, we need to do something to feed the masses. DDT was banned so malaria found a new hold and now the world is infested with bedbugs, too.
B*tch, complain, moan, whinge. That's the militant enviros for ya.

JG Faux misinformation correction,

Not " ..bred to " salmon but genetically modified,and that may well be a pandora's box of ill effects.


Effects of GM crops are not known, Why ARE the bees disappearing. Don't you see we are in an unprecedented crisis?

Corporations like Monsanto are the one's killing us all.

Of course they must be blamed and reined in. Money is God and it isn't working. Capitalists perpetuate it.

Mr Albert Gore former VP of the USA

Why shouldn't one of America's greatest statesmen, a wealthy author and political insider rock star own prime real estate?

I"m sure he's a green as it gets in every way. He is changing the way millions people view their environment so I vote we allow him all the resources he wants.
I have given up use of a car and AC to help offset his CF

I love Al Gore. My sister lives near to him , well only Tipper now- and I've seen him in person very handsome, and single...

I"m sure AG will be on currency one day.

AGREE.

i WOULD IGNORE JG but its disinformation has to be addressed.

Fortunately, most who are defending the indefensible are not very good at it, relying on insult and weakest of sarcasm and evidence always presented out of context or completely off topic.



We all just do what we can.

Louisiana’s wetlands are resilient and have bounced back before. But no one knows how long this recovery will take.

BTW THanks for allowing the site, it is a blog but the evidence is well sourced.

Overwhelming.

Really is on top of environmental news.

Geez, I guess we still shouldn't be eating Alaskan King Crab or salmon, huh? We've been eating it for years; even had Alaskan friends bring us coolers of it to Thailand in the early 1990s.

Is that the best photo you got, Mid? Surely there is a more sobby suck photo.

Seems the sub headline,

"...Bounced back before.."

is not really applicable as I doubt a oil gusher of this scale has never happened before.

NAt'l Geo , about as bought and paid a corporate entity as it gets. Ever notice how all the ads and voice overs are never women?

^ Pfft. Who pays for your bloggers, taxpayers? There is plenty of info about the fish kills like this in LA over decades. Go check them out before you keep crying "the sky is falling".
Why don't you cry about the people in the Sudan, the animals habitually killed for Chink medicine, the illegal immigrant welfare people ripping off the USA, the Burmese workers treated as slaves and hacked up when they want their meagre wages in Phuket...you just like to rant about America. Fine, but your prob is, you don't get the FACTS straight. Just a little girl throwing temper tantrums. May I ask, did you ever have a real job? Like I said, I know a Fed agent in Phuket -- he could get help for you.
