Study: Corexit Cuts Survival Rates By 50%
Jul 14th
In the video below Andy Nyman, Associate Professor at LSU, highlights a prior study done on Corexit 9500 and 9527, the two varieties of Nalco dispersant being used by BP in the Gulf of Mexico oil catastrophe.
Nyman’s study shows these two forms of Corexit cut the marine life survival rate in half over South Louisiana Crude alone. Combine this, with the review of 450 scientific articles spanning 11 years posted here and you have to wonder why the EPA is claiming its 4 weeks of studies are better than all the existing scientific data that disagree.

Video: RFK, Jr, On How We Save The Environment
Jul 12th
“It’s more efficient to change your politician than to change your light bulb.” Fantastic insights and a call to action here from Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. My thanks to Casi Callaway and Tammy Herrington at Mobile Baykeeper for making this interview opportunity possible.

I can corroborate the activity at the location noted in this video from James C Fox. My entire life I have driven the “back roads” of Baldwin County to the beach. I know County Roads 65 and 12 like the back of my hand.
When I was home a few weeks ago I drove that route several times and noticed the facility in this video. More >

Video: BP’s Sand Job
Jul 7th
As they continue to give a much needed voice to gulf coast residents all along their journey, Project Gulf Impact highlights this Pensacola resident showing what BP, et al, keep denying. You cannot deny the difference in the beautiful, natural, white sand that lines Pensacola Beaches, making it so very special, and the sand BP is trucking in to dump on top of the oil-soaked white sand.

Who Is BP Putting In Your Community?
Jul 6th
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 >
