The Emerald Coast, which starts in Gulf Shores, AL and extends thru Panama City, FL is really beautiful. White, sugar sand beaches and green colored waters.
So, how do you catch a dolphin killer/s?
I take it you didn't dig around anywhere; even the Florida Keys were affected by the run off due to the Gulf Stream. It may be pretty on the surface, but its not underneath.
Yeah, no digging around. Just did what typical tourists do: sit at the beach, and stick toes in the water.
So the environmental damage is pretty severe?
Massive fish/mammal die off, reefs were practically empty, and you could see the glistening rainbow slick out in the transport lanes. BP only cleaned up the oil they could and tried to paint a pretty picture with good PR; while disregarding long term effects on the ecosystems. Not to mention that Northern FLA and Southern Gulf Coast states are still finding and having problems with the spills. Sorry, just find it annoying that politicians and BP are bending to each others need/wants while ignorning the public and what they make money off of to sustain those economies. It's like Obi Wan Kenobi telling the storm troopers; these are not the droids you are looking for and waving his hand like its okay.
