Edge of disaster
Two brown pelicans and a flock of seagulls rest on the shore of Ship Island on April 29 as an oil containment boom line floats just offshore from Fort Massachusetts, south of Mississippi in the Gulf of Mexico. The April 20th oil spill that resulted from the sinking of the Deepwater Horizons platform is threatening birds and marine mammals along the Gulf Coast. At least 200,000 gallons of oil a day are spewing from the spill site and winds continue to push the oil toward land.

I cannot understand you guys saying that this is not my country or whatever. Do we people think that we are kings on the Earth? What can you say about the situation in Japan for instance. People tend to overvalue themselves. They are doing harm to the nature now, pretending nothing would ever happen. However, all of us know what happens when nature strikes. We cannot kill or do harm in any form to ANY living creature on the Earth - neither bird nor an insect, cause human being is a part of that.... More
When we heard about walruses being covered in the oil companies Gulf Response Plans, we were annoyed, but also knew we had a direction for our next album. We’re showing the world the real creatures and features of the Gulf including songs on egrets, herons and pelicans. And a song proclaiming that there are “No Walruses in the Gulf.” Part of the proceeds from our album and coloring book set is going to coastal restoration projects.

gaz, you mangy dog. maybe you should go and shave your palms and do your verbal wanking elsewhere! This affects EVERYONE, including us here in Cape Town. Did you mother teach you nothing about self-respect?
@gaz
Very intelligent statement you have. Leads one to believe you should actually deserve to walk and breathe on this earth...hegay.
It's funny because it's in your country and not mine. The planet's massive and it doesn't impact upon my life. lol
There is nothing funny about this situation. It's not a matter of where you live, or what your livelihood might be. The fact is that it does affect you, if not directly, then indirectly. The planet is one massive organism, and when one cell, ( creature, whether flora or fauna) is ailing ,then we harm the body as a whole. You likely do not take the topic seriously and should not comment on it. Go back to playing video games in your your parents' basement and watching garbage hollywood.... More
all it an "environmental anti-depressant." Keep an eye out for it next year. In the meantime you can see the trailer and 50 short films about the project at .

US has already declared this event as worst environmental disaster, and so far repairing, maintaining and cleaning has cost BP around a total of 3.12bn USD, with a loss of around half of its share values. Aquatic animals are having hard time surviving in their new polluted habitat. Again humans are responsible for such loss of lives
My best friend just so happens to be a vet tech. I happen to be a photographer but really want to help. i'm using my vacation time and so is he to go down there soon to help with the efforts. I believe that it is well worth it. this accident is tragic at all levels possible. When you mess with the oceans... you mess with life entirely. We all need to do something.

It isn't in these pics, but I heard that this is one of only 2 places that blue fin tuna spawn. Haven't fact checked, but if true, that's one I'd add to this list.
