Transcript Excerpts
WEAR reporter Laurie Bernstein: At the same time, more submerged oil is being found, in the form of underwater tar mats. ... And scientists say its something we will be dealing with for years.
Dr. Dick Snyder, University of West Florida professor: Man look at all this oil... Any place sand is dynamic, good chance we're going to have buried oil, that includes sand bars just off beach, we don't know how much is out there or where it is...
WEAR: Those underwater tar mats are continuing to produce large tar balls and patties on the beaches nearby.
Snyder: This is still loaded with PAH's...

Sand Sharks will not get what is revieled in the pictures above, and as long as the milky waters carry the oil it will continue to add PAH's to our beaches and into the air as the winds pick it up and blow it as well as visitors to beaches being exsposed to. http://beforeitsnews.com/story/116/096/Oil,_Water,_Sand,_and_Beaches.html ... http://beforeitsnews.com/story/143/686/Corexit_Being_Used_On_The_East_Coast.html
How many NATURAL oil and gas seeps are there in the Gulf? Try 600-700. Oil and gas have seeped into the gulf forever, and there are mats, hills and even volcanoes of oil, tar and bitumen. The oil 'spill' would have been no problem by itself, nature eats it up. The Corexit is the problem, millions of gallons of what is basically the unwanted, highly toxic waste from the refining process. Good excuse to get rid of the stuff they couldn't sell. BTW, gasoline was an unwanted product of the home heating oil refining process, and for years it was dumped in the rivers that lead into the Gulf. There was no one to watch over them in those days.

I used to spend a week at the Gulf every year with friends. I'm not going near the Gulf until The Government stops spraying Corexit. We know they're still spraying it. I want to see independent samples showing clean water, not the Government lies. Let me see Obama and his kids swim in the Gulf and eat Gulf seafood day in and day out for a week and maybe I'll consider taking a dip and eating out of the Gulf. Also, let the fish that Obama eats be something I catch out of the Gulf and not some pristine farm raised shimp that's being thrown on his plate as a fake out!
I read an article a while back to the seafood from gulf that he and others have eaten were frozen pre-spill seafoods.
