LA: BARATARIA BAY, LOUISIANA AFFECTED BY BP SPILL
28 May 2010. Barataria Bay to Grand Isle, Jefferson/Lafourche Parish, Louisiana.
A Louisiana Blue heron fishes in a 'closed fishing area' just outside Barataria Bay in South Louisiana. The ecological and economic impact are devastating to south louisiana. Oil from the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe is evading booms laid out to stop it thanks in part to the dispersants which means the oil travels at every depth of the Gulf and washes ashore wherever the current carries it. The Louisiana wetlands produce over 30% of America's seafood and are the most fetile of their kind in the world. Photo Credit: Charlie Varley / SIPA Press/bpoilspill.009/1005311547 (FOTO: DUKAS/SIPA)

LA: OIL SPILL CREATES JOBS
10 June 2010. Breton Sound Marina, Hopedale, Louisiana. USA - Ricky Robin, captain of the boat 'Lil Rick.' Robin, a commercial fisherman since he was a teenager is now subcontracted to BP. Robin awaits equipment to be loaded onto his shrimp boat which has been converted to an oil skimming vessel. Robin doubts how effective the equipment will be and suggests BP should leave such work to the professionals.
The ecological and economic impact of BP's oil spill is devastating to the region. Oil from the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe is evading booms laid out to stop it thanks in part to the dispersants which means the oil travels at every depth of the Gulf and washes ashore wherever the current carries it. The Louisiana wetlands produce over 30% of America's seafood and oil and gas production. They are the most fertile wetlands and nurseries of their kind in the world. BP's oil is killing everything.
