ldquoWe have seen certainly in the last year a number of findings that show us
the impacts are continuingrdquo said Cathy Harrelson Florida director of the Gulf
Restoration Network ldquoIts an ongoing slow-motion disasterrdquo
Some of those findings suggest that oil reached the shores of Floridas Gulf
Coast Others show generations of marine populations suffering from
deformities and low birth rates
ldquoWe do know that the Gulf oil spill disaster is far from overrdquo said Doug Inkley
a senior scientist for the National Wildlife FederationldquoThe impacts on the Gulf
and its wildlife are continuing We also have a long way to go in
understanding the full impactsrdquo
The report points to ailing wildlife populations nearest the well site off the
coast of Louisiana 14 species in all Dolphins are among the most dramatically
affected with more than 900 dolphin strandings in the areas near the site of
the well
ldquoBottlenose dolphins in oiled areas are still sick and dying and the evidence is
stronger than ever that these deaths are connected to Deepwater Horizonrdquo
Inckley said ldquoThe science is telling us that this is not overrdquo
Kemps ridley sea turtles also are still reeling in the wake of the disaster
scientists say The population was recovering from near-extinction but since
the spill their growth rate has tapered off The report says about 500 sea
turtles have washed up in the well area in the past three years
The report also lists sperm whales and bluefin tuna as having been affected
emspemsp
Oil is still being found Several months ago a large oil mat washed up on a
Panhandle beach Oil traced back to BPs well was found even in Tampa Bay
last year
ldquoDespite what the oil company would have us believe the impacts of the
disaster are ongoingrdquo said Sarah Gonzalez-Rothi a Gulf restoration policy
specialist with NWF ldquoJust last year nearly 5 million pounds of oiled material
from the spill were removed from Louisianas coast And thats just what
weve seen An unknown amount of BPs oil remains deep in the Gulf with
untold consequences for wildliferdquo
Tampa Bays marine life hasnt been nearly as badly affected In fact
researchers in Sarasota used a local healthy dolphin population for
comparison in its study on an ailing group of dolphins in Louisianas Barataria
Bay
The trouble for Tampa Bay environmentalists say comes in large part from
economics Although the tourism industry bounced back and now flourishes
the fishing industry is concerned about the spills continued effects
The NWF report says a chemical associated with Deepwater Horizon causes
irregular heartbeats in bluefin and other types of tuna studied and a decline
in red snapper was seen after the leak
ldquoWe have a lot of commercial and recreational fisheries in this areardquo
Harrelson said ldquoIts a big business big industry Those impacts certainly the
economics of Tampa Bay they start to have an impact on peoples
livelihoodsrdquo
Lawsuits against BP and other corporations involved in the event are ongoing
Gov Rick Scott last month joined a multi-state lawsuit against BP Anadarko
and Transocean Meanwhile researchers from the University of South Florida
and a range of other institutions continue to explore the events possible
effects on the health of the Gulf of Mexico
