Thousands of dead fish surface at mouth of Mississippi River

I am not suprised of the situation here. Since the oil spill anything that happens with "WATER" is bad news. You read about it constantly. Is BP going to have to pay for this clean up too? Im curious of how much money these guys have? And how well they sleep at night? And do they really even care about the SITUATION?

But he added, "We don't want to jump to any conclusions because we've had some oxygen issues by the Bayou La Loutre Dam from time to time."

Follow the link to the rest of the story and check out the comments--specifically the highest rated comment by someone who lives in Mississippi about 200 miles from the gulf and recently caught a fish called a tarpon that is only found in salt water--very interesting and probable theory--he says that all the salt water fish in the gulf are trying to escape the oil and contaminants and so are heading up the Mississippi River and subsequently dying as a result of being intolerant of fresh water. The oil killed them, just not the way everyone thinks.

We are some sick people. We let this shit happen and do nothing about it..

I suggest everyone to start stock pilling food in your basement. WWIII is coming and we are gonna be fighting about food and water..

more than a few people used that place for sustinace...i live in florida and 95 % of the people i meet will not eat gulf anything.....that sucks because that was our fridge.my fishing buddies used to give me fish all the time...extras..i got my sustinance from smoked mackerel more than once in a while..bp just came by and took a big shit in our beach cooler...and the gubment run up and got in our way before we could kick their ass....like bp is the ones they are worried about...not us...

Bag Em Up & Send them to BP !

I think it was a mass suicide. We all know it wasn't the oil or the dispersant why they would tell us if that was the case. So I guess the fish are protesting something and this is how they do it by mass suicide. why that will teach them to follow some nut job fishy preacher type. So don't worry This HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH B.P. why them folks are on our side. There our friends in need. They would never do anything to destroy the planet we all live on. Would They??? Theres no way that it could be run off from the factory farms up river or from the feilds They would never do anything like that why the E.P.A. would shut them down. Oh yea! if Ya'll believe that mess then Ya'll really need to pull your head out your ass because it going to happen again in a few months. This is not just going to go away. with the flooding and the gulf stream moveing this suspened oil around in the Gulf we don't know where it is going to kill next but we do know that it is going to keep killing till it settles to the bottom. Then it will kill off whats down below. Oh by the way thats where all kinds of crittrs live. Stuff most folks will never see. Those of us that have seen it may never see it again. So remember folks while your fueling up your big ass S.U.V. or that big pretty truck your helping to fuel the distruction of the very planet that is OUR home.

This really needs special attention towards the community because to save the environment is also saving the eco-system.

It's hard to say if this incident is connected to the BP fiasco. We need to ensure other sources are not the cause.

A for instance if you will...

If there has been any flooding up river an increased amount of pesticides could be at fault by forming a dead zone. But then again, dead zones from Mississippi run off are not that uncommon, though they don't usually occur right at the mouth of the river.

While I believe it is very likely to be the BP problem to be at the source of this issue, I would not fall pray to the assumption that it is without evidence...
But that's what we have testing, research, and biologist for; right.

I want everyone to compare the government and media's ( same thing ) reaction to the oil spill, with their reaction to 9/11.

Personally I believe that what has happened in the gulf of mexico is far worse than what happened on 9/11. Also, if you ask me, the oil spill is something we should never forget. Fuck the government.

The biggest problem we face aside from the obvious environmental disaster, is that the Obama administration and the EPA are hand in hand with BP.
Follow the money.

I have a feeling this going to get worse and worse.

thats gunna smell.......oh thats just the swamp gas..
dont worry be nappy....now lets go for a dip....maybe do some fishing for supper...just another day in paradise

*cough*BP*Cough*

Obama did it!

:/

Every dead fish, every dead bird, every family destroyed, every beast from the mouth of this oil Hell is our fault.
We are destroying the planet and we are all going to die off.
Never vote for anyone or anything that does not support echo friendly renewable energy resources. And know them by their deeds and not their words. Remember, we only have this minute to change our direction.

Where is the logic? BP gushed millions of gallons of CRUDE oil into our Gulf, sea creatures start dying in droves. We live in Americorp and our flag is a barcode.

Jan, I was watching this on CNN yesterday morning, and it just plain sickened me.

Well every generation since the days of Jesus thought the world was coming to an end, in fact the "end times" preachings and books, have made a lot of narcissists rich. I'm sorry the whole idea; "Jesus is coming back in MY lifetime" thing is just a little annoying and egotistical....

Other than that we could very well have the planet near a dangerous tipping point, and whether it's God or nature, it just might be tired of playing.

Excerpt:

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (AFP) – Thousands of fish have turned up dead at the mouth of Mississippi River, prompting authorities to check whether oil was the cause of mass death, local media reports said Monday.

The fish were found Sunday floating on the surface of the water and collected in booms that had been deployed to contain oil that leaked from the BP spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the Times-Picayune reported.

"By our estimates there were thousands, and I'm talking about 5,000 to 15,000 dead fish," St Bernard Parish President Craig Taffaro was quoted as saying in a statement.

He said crabs, sting rays, eel, drum, speckled trout and red fish were among the species that turned up dead.

Taffaro said there was some recoverable oil in the area, and officials from the state's wildlife and fisheries division were sampling the water.

But he added, "We don't want to jump to any conclusions because we've had some oxygen issues by the Bayou La Loutre Dam from time to time."
