First we lost the fish, shrimp and other marine life in the Gulf of Mexico, to the BP oil catastrophe and ensuing massive dump of the neuro-toxic dispersant Corexit. Now we appear to be losing crops from the Mississippi Gulf Coast to middle Georgia. Watch these two videos. More >
In another great interview by Project Gulf Impact, Dr. Chris Pincetich, PhD, Marine Bioligist, Toxicologist, of Turtle Island Restoration Network, talks about the dispersant use, where it’s being used (might surprise you) and how the EPA studies are set up to avoid giving you the real toxicity data on the dispersants.

Destin resident Rachelle Roubique details her “adventure” finding a way to contribute to the gulf oil spill clean up efforts, via BP. It sounds about at easy as my efforts to de-code EPA air/water quality data, but far more disgusting. I encourage you to read Rachelle’s entire report here. Excerpts follow: More >
One of my favorite moments working with Project Gulf Impact was being able to do this interview with Dr. Riki Ott, marine toxicologist and Exxon Valdez survivor, talking about chemical-induced illnesses and lessons learned after Exxon Valdez, as well as why she came to the Gulf Coast right after the Deepwater Horizon exploded and oil began gushing into the Gulf of Mexico.

I get messages daily from people all over the world asking me what can they do to help the situation in the Gulf of Mexico. The first answer is always: write your representatives, relentlessly. You can find information on other pages of this site about that.

Many of you already know Kindra Arnesen, multi-generational shrimper from Venice, LA. from the Gulf Emergency Summit, 6/19/10, as seen in this video (see second video below). This was the video in which many of us met Kindra for the first time. But Kindra is no stranger to southern Louisiana. More >
Please see video below from Merle Savage, former General Foreman during Exxon Valdez oil spill clean up. Savage continues to suffer with debilitating health issues as a result of her exposure to the toxic chemicals in oil as well as those in the neurotoxic dispersant Corexit, the same dispersant BP is dumping in unprecedented amounts in the Gulf of Mexico.
