Re: Keep Chins Up
by capthoop on Wed May 19, 2010 9:37 pm

Today I was assigned to go to the west looking for oil with Chief Evans aboard. We ran out of tiger pass and made a large loop covering many rigs about 15 miles offshore looking for any trace of oil. We asked a captain that works a crew boat in that area and he said "A little came through a few days ago but nothing since". That may have gone tothe west and been found west of Grand Aisle. After running several rigs and looking hard for a trace we found no trace of any oil. On some of the rigs large schools of fish came up to greet the boat. I saw angle fish and trigger fish as well as an occasional mangrove snapper. We then went into the Empire jetties and found about 3 to 5 rocks with a (possable trace) of residue oil. If it was it was already captured and was of no threat to anybody or thing. From there we worked the coast west untill we could see the buildings on Grand Isle. We were not given any coordinates so we made sure we at least covered the parish boundaries. We saw several specks and reds being caught as we edged our way along the shoreline looking for the elusive west side oil. The state waters are opened to fishing on that side of the river to the parish lines. We had a close up look at the National Guard sandbaging the breaks in the land in the Scofield bay area. Wish we had more choppers to get it done faster. What they are doing is very effective. That area has to still be built up higher but it is a good start. We continued down the shore untill we were once again close to tiger pass. We came in red pass.

There is NO oil in the area we covered today and I expressed the fact that the area being closed to fishing should not be set at federal and state lines but at a more realistic Lat/Lon coridinate giving us a fair way to control our livelyhood. The Empire loop area may be a place that oil will never reach.

I am in favor of a charter captains fish testing group that catches and marks location of fish caught so they can be tested for the safety of the public. This can be done on the days they are not tasked by other groups.

Would like to see an area about 20 miles from shore opened from south west pass to close to Grand Aisle.. The area is clean.

Life is Good!

That sounds like a good idea - is anyone pitching that ?

Hoop - IMO - one of the huge challenges the gulf region will face after the leak is stopped is the understanding of what is clean. I suspect the pelagic species will be back in heartbeat. Clearly the dispersants have worked very well in limiting the damage from the mechanical impacts caused by the oil slicks.

The tricky part will be figuring out the fate, transport and food chain accumulation dynamics (if any) of the oil (and dispersants) that is sub surface and getting into the food chain through plankton and bait species (if any). This will be a huge challenge for the shrimpers and inshore guys.

Good luck - your posts are much appreciated.

Without getting political - I hope everyone understands that if we as a nation want to get away from these risky drilling practices - it all starts with the person in the mirror.

The palegics are the ones being hurt the most as the oil kept below the surface is being dispersed by a chemical that if depleating 30% of the oxygen. This dead zone is beibg created in the place they call home.

They are doing a study to see if building up the barrier islands is enviromentaly safe enough to do. DUH??? We have a bullet flying at our heart and they are doing a study to see how soiled the flack jacket would get when the bullet hits it. O.K. you can put the jacket on. What? you died last week??

Funny they waved a study and granted the oil company permission to use the dispersant. Now a month later they are saying it is highly toxic and they have to find something else to use.

Looks like everything is not enough and too late.

What they are not showing you is the size of the oil they have hidden below the water with the """DISPERSANTS""" that are taking 30 percent of the oxygen out of the water. What kind of fish is able to live in that? That was 3 days ago What we have now is anybodys guess. When they discribe the oil as 4 miles by 15 miles they are not telling you it is a 300 foot bubble of the stuff.

Hoop - FWIW - when Long Island Sound gets really low oxygen (hypoxia) every summer the swimming species do seem able to swim to areas where the O2 levels are ok. Its the shellfish and crustations that can't get away.

This is a totally different situation - so who knows. Noboby is even thinking about food chain uptake yet.

Hang in there brother and we will all keep our fingers crossed for tomorrow. (the "Top Kill" procedure)

From what I can tell - the Gulf should now be considered a crime sceen. Its time for some TransOcean, BP and Haliburton exec's to don the orange jump suits and do the perp walk.

If tomorrow fails . . . . . and the only solution is the relief well which would be done in August banghead, this disaster's impact will be felt for generations.

Sure BP and its sub contractors are to be blamed, but what about the colossal failure of our federal government to something (anything) other than investigating and laying blame? This is getting ridiculous. 45 days in (roughly) and we announce that we are "not sure" BP can handle this problem? No ***** sherlock.
