The Gulf Coast Fund, which was founded after Hurricane Katrina to support grassroots organizations in the region, said today “over 53 million gallons of oil are currently spread over the coastal areas and are washing ashore in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida panhandle.” That’s out of a total of 172 million gallons that were spilled into the Gulf.[...]
The group’s findings come days after the University of Georgia published a report finding that “up to 79 percent of the oil released into the Gulf of Mexico from the Deepwater Horizon well has not been recovered and remains a threat to the ecosystem.”
The government says 75% of the oil has just miraculously disappeared. All better. Go fishing. Eat Gulf seafood. Happy days are here again.
