I do not believe it is over, it could be years and they will still be finding evidence. Just like in Alaska.

The merma...Oh Loui, you know my heart still breaks. The mermaid in that stunning painting represents the 1000s and 1000s of birds and sea critters we've lost and still continue to loose as a result of this tragic event. The fisherman who has found her represents the 11,000 jobs that were lost.<br /><br />From what I understand NBC was the only large news station that was actually there reporting and giving us updates on the what is still going on. He was in Louisiana and showed the oil that is still found in the seagrass and under the muck that lines the shore. He interviewed a 5th generation shrimper, who had to layoff most of his employees and only received 30% of what he lost in revenue from BP. He also interviewed Ann Sheridan, their environmentalist reporter. He showed this in his broadcast on the 18th and live clips were shared throughout the day on MSNBC.<br /><br />Yes, it has gone from the minds of most people and I wish there had been more coverage on all the networks. The effects of this oil spill are still going on each and everyday and will for generations to come. Most folks don't know how something like this — in our oceans — will continue to impact their lives and the lives of their descendants. Breaks my heart.<br /><br />Thank you for writing about this today, my dear sister of the sea. We must do all we can to protect our oceans.<br /><br />HugsShellbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836629045327379085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195304175457596845.post-29637381210972663562011-04-21T08:22:19.592-06:002011-04-21T08:22:19.592-06:00It really is sad and I just realized that that acc...It really is sad and I just realized that that accident happened also on the same date as the Columbine shootings. <br />I heard an interview yesterday on NPR about these poor fishermen in this area. I hope they are able to get back on their feet soon. It is troublesome.<br />Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. <br />Hugs,<br />RoseyChloe mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265196480664185330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195304175457596845.post-18301674917779770802011-04-21T08:01:35.373-06:002011-04-21T08:01:35.373-06:00It is so sad that the out of sight out of mind men...It is so sad that the out of sight out of mind mentality is there. There is still so much to do. That picture of the fisherman and the mermaid to me speaks volumes. I pray that they can get their act together and revisit this to find and help future damage.michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17757389045798739976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195304175457596845.post-5180049850179231482011-04-21T02:38:42.237-06:002011-04-21T02:38:42.237-06:00Yes, the subject has been coming back on televisio...Yes, the subject has been coming back on television...it's not over yet! and the horrible stories about how the bp money was ill-used in some places...monies that should have gone to the fisherman. corruption everywhere.rjerdeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453912819445395042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195304175457596845.post-71886835262906931672011-04-20T18:36:37.752-06:002011-04-20T18:36:37.752-06:00You really have me thinking.
