The BP Oil spill impact on sea creatures

One of the advantages to living in Florida is the wonderful wild creatures we come in contact with. Many of these are land critters but the ones who live in the sea are just as important to the well-being of Florida.
The oil spill is still having an impact on these creatures of the sea. To stand on the beach and watch a pod of dolphins play or observe in the dark of night the huge sea turtles make their way on a beach to lay their eggs is a sight to behold.
One year after this spill, these creatures are washing up on the shorelines of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana in record numbers. We are just now beginning to experience what that oil spill is doing to the wildlife.
Check out this blog post from Huffington. The photos are pretty graphic but the content is powerful. We need to stay on top of this and make sure it doesn't happen again. It seems despite what most in government would have us believe, the damage is still ocurring.
