Memorial Day is considered the official start of summer — even down here on the Gulf where the mercury’s been rising for some time now. It’s a great holiday for hitting the beach, going camping, and throwing great barbecue on the grill — maybe a choice steak, or maybe seafood. But so far 2012 hasn’t been the greatest year for what the Aussies call “shrimp on the barbie.” Down here [...]
Read More »Last week, many people were pained to see — for the first time –photographs by government experts showing dead, oiled sea turtles taken in the weeks immediately after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill. It was not surprising that federal officials kept these photos, which also showed sperm whales swimming through an oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico, under wraps for so long. The ongoing tragedy of oil-covered endangered turtles [...]
Read More »It’s hard to turn on your TV these days and avoid those cloying spots for Gulf Coast tourism that BP is spending millions of dollars on — proving that the only thing the company behind the Deepwater Horizon disaster actually works hard on cleaning up is its image.

Between now and the end of their session next month, legislators in Baton Rouge still have a chance to do the right thing.

Read More »It was billed as the “greenest Games ever.” Hailed as the most environmentally friendly Olympics since the Greeks raced chariots through the streets of Athens (or some such equally ridiculous claim). In 2007, the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) – with then-Prime Minister Tony Blair’s full support – promised to ensure preparations for the London 2012 summer Olympics would be made with unprecedented deference to environmentalism and sustainable development. Well, as [...]
Read More »It’s official: The BP oil spill has poisoned the iconic Gulf oyster. And the fallout, according to scientists, could be devastating to the surrounding ecosystem and the people who work the Gulf waters. A team from the California Academy of Sciences has been studying oysters for two years, both before and after BP’s oil reached the shores of Louisiana, Alabama and Florida. The scientists found significantly higher concentrations of chromium, [...]
Read More »Biscayne Bay’s pristine tropical waters teem with exotic marine life from manatees to dolphins to ”super corals” to environmentally critical sea grasses. Strips of mangroves and wetlands cushion the shores. The bay’s untamed beauty attracts millions of tourists annually and draws nature-lovers and sun-worshipers from around the world to live on its idyllic shores. The Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve provides a safe haven for endangered species and an ideal nursing ground [...]
Read More »Federal prosecutors have arrested a former BP engineer for intentionally destroying key evidence detailing how much oil was spewing into the Gulf of Mexico from the blownout Macondo Well in the early, chaotic days of the disaster in the spring of 2010. The criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday charges 50-year-old engineer Kurt Mix with two counts of obstruction of justice for deleting hundreds of text messages from his iPhone, the most [...]
