With the current Gulf of Mexico heavy crude Oil spill polluting trillions of gallons of sea water and only a small amount is on the surface, the vast majority of aquatic life swimming and living in that toxic mess is going to die and likely sink to the Ocean floor. The fish that dies and floats to the surface however is likely going to kill many birds that die after eating their heavily contaminated flesh.
The oil spill in the Gulf. Your report kinda hit the nail on the head. It ap-
pears that the agency responsible for overseeing the safety of oil drilling, like so many agencies, was not observing the overseers to
see that they were doing their job. By now, we should all realize that
we should reduce the search for MORE OIL, and direct our energies
TO GET OFF FOSSIL FUELS, and get clean energy ON LINE! Maybe
we WILL realize when we no longer have a habitable planet! As in-
dividuals, we should do everything we possibly can to reduce our own
carbon emissions, ie., recycle, consolidate motor vehicle trips, curtail
frivolous driving, conserve electricity, and hot water, stop pollution.
This is the only planet we have...let's take care of it.
