Grand Isle, Louisiana, is a sportfishing heaven, where Dolphin escorted the Charter boat of Captain Craig Bilkivis in the Gulf of Mexico. He wanted to show what matters there: Radfish is cutting, and dolphins are proof of that fact.
This is another indication that there is already space in the last 15 years. Dreaded BP oil spreadIn summer of 2010, nervousness spread throughout the region when Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig Explosion In the Gulf, 134 million gallons of gallons entering the water.
CBS News covered the spread for four months, frantic efforts from the well to the attempts to stop the crude oil of the rust Poison Beach and wetland. The city of Grand Isle was trapped due to disaster. Mayor David Camardel shed tears in an interview on the beach, frightened the future for the local Fishermen,
Fifteen years later, Camardelle remembers this moment.
“Coming through that oil – it was a different world for us,” he said.
Asked if the Grand Isle has been recovered, Camardel said, “As the environment moved forward, it got better and better, we find. And the storms came and pushed some big waves here and pushed other items out.”
But below the surface, a different story was in front. Back in 2015, Chris Hernandez showed CBS News his oyster beds, which were included in Sheen. He recently said that he has never recovered.
Spill had one Disastrous effect On sea life, coastal ecosystems and wetlands. In the last 15 years, some of it were recovered, but there is no one of it.
Louisiana restored a bird island, home to brown pelicans, herons and galls. BP paid for a $ 18 million dollar project, which is now in its “restoration phase”, the program’s administrator Maurya Chetteer said.
“We are trying to make it correct and bring back those population,” said Chetteer.
But NOAA shot underwater footage near BP Well Head in 2017, and researchers not almost seen signs of lifeHe went back to the same area last year and said it looked very similar.
One hundred miles away, back to Grand Isle, Camardel still has his fear.
“Behind the mind, I still feel that there is a little poison. I should not say it like this, but it can still pop up in the ground,” Camardel said.
It took BP four months to seal the well, but still there is no cap on dull disbelief.
