She says, "we're finding it everywhere we look, the oil is not gone", adding,
"we're seeing two and half inches of oil 16 miles away, God knows what we'll see close in",
"I really can't even guess other than to say it's going to be a whole lot more than 2 & a half inches"
She's alleged to have found oil as far as 70 miles away.
Only bacteria & micro organisms were present in her samples,
she said, "I've yet to see a living shrimp, a living worm, nothing."
These statements highly contradict governments allegations that 74% of the oil has disappeared.
A claim even the BP clean up crew believed to be false, stating,
"any of us workers know that 75% of the oil is still there, not that 75% of it is gone".
NOAA, backing up claims that 3/4s of the oil had disappeared, later admitted that 75% still remained
Meanwhile fishing is big business in the bayou, with Louisiana raking in
1 billion pounds of products a year worth over $272 million.
Significant portions of the United States catch:
-35% of shrimp
-36% of oysters
-56% of the Gulf menhaden
-27% of blue crab
-55% of black drum
-23% of all snapper species
&
-20% of yellow-fin tuna
Louisiana is home to 12,260 fishing licenses & over 1,500 seafood dealers/processors.
When the Obama Administration announced the Gulf was "open for business",
it pretty much guaranteed BP checks to fishermen would be nevermore.
Why should BP pay fishermen when the waters were now free to fish?
Because the fish are unfit for human consumption, that's why!
Scientists concluded that the toxic dispersant Corexit had made its way into the food chain.
The FDA failed to properly investigate the fish contamination
furthermore insisting a "smell test" would suffice.
If it smells like fish, then it's a dish.
Fisherman justifiably protested that an efficient assessment of the harm is necessary.
Can you blame fishermen for not wanting to go back in the water,
when it's they who will be held accountable for any harm done to consumers.
Do you think they could sleep at night knowing they're selling a catch that could possibly kill another human being?
BP went so far as to have fishermen sign waivers denying them of any liability for protection
