destin oil spill gulf slick: OIL IN GULF IS NOT GONE!!! - 08/22/10 12:35 PM
Some scientists are now saying that there is an oil slick the size of Manhattan Island sitting below the surface in the Gulf of Mexico. When the government and other organizations are saying the oil is 75% gone, we who live here are hard pressed to believe that all that oil has disappeared. I know everyone else would love to believe that the work is done and everyone can go home and save BP a whole lot of money. In Pensacola Beach, if you dig down in the sand a foot or more, there is a layer of black oil! I … (1 comments)

It's being sponsored by the Tourism Development Council with money from BP--in an attempt to boost tourism in the area and bring some people into local hotels and restaurants.Also in the news from the tourism council--there is a search underway for a new "brand" for the area that aptly describes the Destin/Okaloosa/Fort Walton Beach area. Since there are other "emerald coast" places, an effort to re-identify the area appropriately. If you have ideas, feel free to contact the … (1 comments)

destin oil spill gulf slick: Gulf Oil Spill--One Resident's Opinion - 08/03/10 10:22 PM
Well, well, there is how many millions of gallons of oil leaked into the gulf of Mexico, and how many gallons of corexant to break it up and turn it into orange goo instead of black goo?Now people would have us believe that it has all disappeared magically almost seemingly overnight. I don't believe it. Just because we can't see it, doesn't mean it isn't still with us. My question is, how come the "junegrass" that normally comes for a week or maybe two in June is still with us in August? I don't see oil in the water here in … (3 comments)

destin oil spill gulf slick: Gulf Oil Spill--More Lies!! - 08/01/10 01:12 PM
The US Coast Guard has routinely approved BP's requests to override a federal directive to ban the use of toxic dispersant to break up the spill. The coastguard granted 74 exemptions over 48 days, according to documents obtained by Rep Ed Markey, chairman of the House Energy and Environment Subcommittee. Rep. Markey was instrumental in leading the fight to have cameras on the leak made public. According to BP, 1.8m gallons of dispersant have been pumped into the Gulf. Scientists say that the resulting high toxicity levels could harm marine life for years to come. On Friday night, the House of … (1 comments)

destin oil spill gulf slick: Destin Oil Spill Boom Placement Plan - 06/09/10 05:03 PM
Okaloosa County and the U.S. Coast Guard have developed a boom plan for the Destin Pass that could be the best oil deflection strategy on the Gulf Coast. But it will be later in the week at best before the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issues the permit required for the booms to be deployed. The new plan was devised this weekend after the Coast Guard ordered the removal of booms set in its navigable waters.The most recent plan calls for permanent pilings fitted with flashing lights to be constructed at strategic points within the Destin Pass and boom to be … (0 comments)

destin oil spill gulf slick: Destin Oil Spill Update - 05/21/10 09:08 AM
As of last night, as reported on CNN, BP is stating that the plan for a "top fill" should be taking place this weekend. With the oil now infiltrating the wetlands of Southern Louisiana, we don't have to look too far to see what could happen to the entire gulf coast if this well isn't stopped soon. If people think it will just affect the economy of gulf coast towns and our fishing industry, we only need to look to the fact that the oil has already reached the loop current that circles the Florida coastline and could take the oil … (0 comments)

destin oil spill gulf slick: New Fishing Update for Destin Florida - 05/20/10 12:34 PM
The newly closed area is more than 150 miles from the nearest port and primarily in deep water used by pelagic longline fisheries that target highly migratory species, such as tuna and swordfish. Coastal fisheries, such as grouper, snapper and shrimp, will not be affected by the expansion of the closed area.
"The BP oil spill is unprecedented and quickly changing. The administration's response since the beginning has been aggressive, strategic, and science-based," said Dr. Jane Lubchenco, under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator. "As we expand the fishing closed area, we are doing what science demands of … (0 comments)
