Coral, Marine-Life Devastation Near BP Oil Spill Indicates Much Worse Long-Term Damage
    #13441319 -

Than FEDS had admitted......

NEW ORLEANS — For the first time, federal scientists have found damage to deep sea coral and other marine life on the ocean floor several miles from the blown-out BP well – a strong indication that damage from the spill could be significantly greater than officials had previously acknowledged.

Tests are needed to verify that the coral died from oil that spewed into the Gulf of Mexico after the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion, but the chief scientist who led the government-funded expedition said Friday he was convinced it was related.

"What we have at this point is the smoking gun," said Charles Fisher, a biologist with Penn State University who led the expedition aboard the Ronald Brown, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration research vessel.

This really is no surprise and I fear it to be much worse than the article leads us
to believe. Environments that have gone through much smaller spills have been devastated.

Just throwin this article out there.
