We're sorry - we are currently out of current books on the oil "spill" in the Gulf Of Mexico as none have been written yet. Check back next month.

I think we will be seeing the consequences of this spill for a long time and in areas far outside of the Gulf of Mexico. We will never know how many fish and other wildlife will be killed by this spill--we will just know that the fish are not there anymore. Even bluefin tuna populations that are fished worldwide will be affected. The unseen plumes of oil under the surface will suck the oxygen out of huge areas, killing fish and other food organisms.

I think it is entirely possible that oil will show up on Altantic Coast and even reach the Sargasso Sea in the middle of the Atlantic. The components of the oil that evaporate will probably even reach the Arctic as have compounds like DDT.

Herring fisheries have never returned in Alaska after being wiped out by the Valdeze oil spill. What fisheries will be wiped out here? How many?

Well, this is the worse part:

Meaning that the entire gulf stream route will be... well, we will see what will remain of the life out there.

Also, to add insult to an injury:

I know it is a petty complaint, but I can't even go fishing in areas where the oil has not reached due to the booms which close off prime fishing areas.

They have closed recreational fishing in the Gulf off Pensacola Beach.

And these kinds of images are starting to spread really fast. Even our news covered it... (* at the bottom says: may cause cancer)

You are right Jack--the real hazard to humans is the long term exposure thru our food chain. The PAHs in oil are carcinogens and they will bioconcentrate in all of our seafood--these PAHs will be spread all over the Gulf and even into the Atlantic before this is over. They will be there for decades because they do not degrade.
