Oil Re-Emerges In Gulf

 

The US Coast Guard collected samples on Saturday March 19th from a dark substance floating on and beneath the surface of the water in the Gulf of Mexico. The oil sheen is floating just a few miles off the coast of Grand Isle, Louisiana, stretching100 miles out into the Gulf.

The results showed that the dark substance did in fact contain petroleum hydrocarbons, oil and grease.

The Coast Guard says that they have mobilized an Oil Spill response and started deploying sorbent boom in sensitive areas.

  • The oil/toxins are not new. This is NOT a spill. It’s a steady FLOW since February 13, 2010.
