Evidence Mounts of BP Spraying Toxic Dispersants, Dahr Jamail for Truthout, September 13th, 2010:
The next day, August 6, found [BP Vessel Of Opportunity (VOO) worker Shirley Tillman] logging more death. “Last night on the news, they reported a fish kill. Before we went to work, I went to the beach by the harbor. The seagulls were everywhere. As for the dead fish, the only ones on the beach, were ones that the tide had left when it went back out. The rest of the ‘Fish Kill,’ was laying underwater, on the bottom. It was mainly flounder and crab. We only spotted two dead flounder floating that day. I can only imagine how many were on the bottom … I went back to the beach after work. The tide had gone out and the seagulls were eating all the dead fish that had been exposed. You could still see dead fish underwater, still on the bottom. Dead fish don’t float anymore?”

I've heard that Corexit was developed to sink the oil, to make it heavy (not necessarily to disperse it) and - whether intentional or not - it also sinks the animal evidence.
BP stocks are way up today, by the way. Looks like the plan is working.
A must read:

Oil found is not from seeps- it is from the DWH disaster.

Those look like flounder to me. Ever been gigging?
Ya, I have caught alot of flounder just off the shore that far with a jig before. Never gigged though. Got to do better than that cause they look ready to catch.
