The spill will prove toxic to the oysters, which will in turn affect the many oyster farms along the coast. Five zones of oysters as well as commercial and recreational fishing east of the Mississippi River have been closed.


A crate of crabs are dumped back into the water in Delacroix, Louisiana. Many fisherman don't want to take chances selling possibly contaminated crabs, so they are pulling their traps and releasing the crabs back into the waters.


A dead sea turtle lies on the beach in Pass Christian, Mississippi. At least 20 sea turtles were found dead last weekend along a 30-mile stretch of Mississippi beaches from Biloxi to Bay St. Louis.


Another dead sea turtle found washed up on the shore

i wonder how we're going to clean this up
Oh they are doing a fantastic job! I totally trust the guys who fucked up to fix this. 100% confidence in BP. I loved the brilliant idea of dumping more chemicals in the water to make the oil less visible. Genius idea there. Who needs government when private corporations make decisions that benefit humanity and not themselves?

Here is the fucking dome they are lowering. This is going to do the job? Really?






Last night, oil spill response workers lowered a massive dome that authorities hope will finally cap the leak that has been spilling an estimated 5,000 barrels of oil per day into the Gulf of Mexico.

Federal authorities and BP are coming under increasing pressure to get the spill under control. The Sierra Club is planning to hold Clean It Up rallies across the nation between now and May 16. The purpose of the rallies is to call on President Obama and Congress to hold BP accountable for the spill and get it cleanup up as quickly as possible. You can find an event near you by visiting the Sierra Club website.
