Oil washes onto big Mississippi tourist beach From Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour 80% Quoting: misipiDespite our being told by the Federal Unified Command that the emulsion is not toxic, members of the general public should not try to clean up the emulsion or any new tar balls unless they have had the proper training. "There is more oil in the sound, particularly north of Petit Bois and Horn islands, and there is oil in the passes between Petit Bois and Horn, Horn and Ship islands, and in the Camille Cut. "Additionally, a small amount of oil was located today near Deer Island. The boom protecting Biloxi Bay at this location was closed to boat traffic, and one or more vessels with skimming capabilities was brought in to try to keep more oil from getting into the bay. "The Federal Unified Command reported having more than 700 vessels on the water trying to locate the oil, skim the area, steer and collect the oil and its residue in the sound, in the passes, and south of the barrier islands. "The amount of oil moving into Mississippi waters has greatly increased in the last several days, and the prevailing winds that cause the oil and its residue to move in our direction are predicted to continue, at least until the middle of the week. We continue to press the Federal Unified Command and BP to increase the amount of resources available to attack the oil beginning as far south as possible, through the passes, into the sound, and in the mouths of the bays. "While command and control of on-water resources has improved, it must get much better, and the amount of resources to attack the oil offshore must be greatly increased. Under the circumstances, we are taking some of that into our own hands." Stay with WLOX News and WLOX.com Thks Missip for all you postings, the news i continue to get from my sis makes me ill. Can't hardly bring myself to post anymore. |

Oil washes onto big Mississippi tourist beach [link to ori.msnbc.msn.com] A floating city springs up to contain Gulf spill Site of the Deepwater Horizon disaster is now a roaring industrial complex Dead ahead through the helicopter windshield, it appears like a mirage at the hazy horizon: a city in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. A city on fire. Just a few months ago, the site of the disaster, 42 miles from the last marsh grass at the very tip of the Mississippi River Delta, boasted a solitary drilling rig called Deepwater Horizon. Now that rig rests upside down in the mud at the bottom of the gulf, and in its place is a roaring industrial complex, an emergency operation unlike anything in the history of the petroleum industry. More than 60 vessels are trying to capture the oil, burn it, disperse it, whatever it takes, while two giant rigs are drilling relief wells and officials keep their eyes on the weather reports, racing to kill the leaking well before a hurricane forces everyone to scatter to calmer waters. |

Oil washes onto big Mississippi tourist beach BILOXI, MS (WLOX) - The Mississippi Sound is now completely closed to all commercial and recreational fishing. Thursday evening, the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources and the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality closed the last open portion of Mississippi's territorial marine waters. Any fish, shrimp, crabs or oysters caught in the closed area must be immediately returned to the waters. There is no catch and release fishing allowed in the closed area. |

Oil washes onto big Mississippi tourist beach Oil taints food chain in Gulf of Mexico WOW oil in crabs from Pensacola FLA. to Galveston TX. OCEAN SPRINGS, MS (WLOX) - There's growing concern about oil entering the food chain in the Gulf of Mexico. Scientists at the Gulf Coast Research Lab have discovered tiny droplets of oil inside the larvae of blue crabs. That could spell disaster for fisheries in the gulf waters and in South Mississippi marshes and bayous. "I've worked with these larvae for 42 years and I've never seen this before," said GCRL researcher Harriet Perry. When Perry looked at blue crab larvae through the microscope, she saw what appeared to be tiny droplets of oil. Tests at an independent lab soon confirmed her suspicions and fear: Crab larvae have been tainted by oil. "It doesn't appear to have been ingested. It looks like the droplets are just wedged between the carapace, the external shell and the inner skin. Unfortunately, so many animals like to eat small crabs. It's a way for them to enter the food chain. For the hydro carbons to enter the food chain," said Perry. Crab larvae samples from the marshes of Pensacola to Galveston have all shown the presence of dispersed oil. It's a finding that could signal a severe impact on fisheries. "A lot of fish species in the marsh. Speckled trout, red drum would feed on these and that would begin the process of accumulation through the food chain," Perry explained. |

Oil washes onto big Mississippi tourist beach thanks, mockingbird for the rov/pilot article. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1020754truly teamwork, too. they work for the client..hmmm. [bp ever ready to point the blame on others] spacie.. We have grown so (reasonably) cynical that we can all too easily overlook the reality that the ROVie pilots are probably doing the absolute very best that they can... simply because they believe it is the right thing to do. I feel deep and complex compassion for the ROVie pilots who direct the dispersant operations. They undoubtedly believe -- from the information that they are given -- that it is a good and beneficial thing. Even if one ROVie pilot were to refuse to work dispersant operations, undoubtedly others would take his or her place in a heartbeat. I wonder what I would do if I were a ROVie pilot. All of us would do well to ponder that. I Support Our First Responders |

Oil washes onto big Mississippi tourist beach BILOXI, MS (WLOX) - For the first time since Hurricane Katrina, Keesler Air Force Base will house 50 Mississippi National Guard soldiers to support ongoing oil spill response operations and, if called upon, to augment civilian authorities in the wake of a major hurricane developing in the Gulf of Mexico, officials announced Thursday. The National Guard infantry soldiers, all recently returned from Iraq, will serve as a "quick reaction force" to offer the flexibility necessary for future operations, said Col. Lee Smithson, commander of Task Force Vigilant Horizon, which is overseeing the Mississippi National Guard's response to the oil spill. Specifically, they will coordinate the civilian clean-up vessels, he said. The soldiers are from Alpha Company 1/155th Infantry headquartered in the St. Martin Armory in Jackson County. The additional troops bring the total to about 125 soldiers under Task Force Vigilant Horizon. "Unfortunately, hurricanes are a way of life here along the Gulf Coast, and the ongoing oil disaster only complicates matters further," Smithson said. "Fortunately, as we enter 'Phase Lighthouse' we've mobilized our best, and we are very grateful for Keesler Air Force Base for its logistical support. Otherwise, we would really be in a logistical quandary." |
