The Gulf Between Us, Orion magazine, November/December 2010 issue:
The captain seated across from me seemed troubled. He didn’t say much. He told me later when we were at the bar alone that he had worked on the Exxon Valdez spill. He said he had watched fish eat the dispersant as it gathered along the tide line in Alaska. He said he had seen the mullet doing exactly the same thing out in the Gulf.
“They’re probably just eatin’ the microbes that are eatin’ up the oil after the dispersants have broken it up,” he said.
I look at this site every morning and can you guys please post more video if possible to help spread the word?
god bless..
I have also seen this going on in Apalachicola Bay.It's a little different scenario,but has to be what's going on.
Birds are diving & feeding on the bait fish that are feeding on the microbes from dispersed oil streamers that come in & out with the tide in the Bay.
I've been seeing this going on since I first videoed dispersed oil in the Bay in July & August.
