Horn Island August 9th Dispersant and Oil

August 26, 2010 • Leave a Comment

These images were taken on August 9, 2010 on our trip to Horn Island accompanied by members of Boston Chemical including Mr. Strongbear. We traveled by boat to Horn Island out of Biloxi, Mississippi and sampled both on the sound side(south) of the island where we found large and small tar balls and patties, in the area of lat 30,14.91N, long 88,42.0947W, all images have specific locations embedded in meta data. When leaving the shore to go to the gulf side, the boat motor actually stirred up some oil residue from the sea floor, creating brown colored bubbles on the surface, similar to Barataria bay, but not as thick. On the gulf side, east end of the island, lat 30,14.5535N, long 88,43.3291W, we found the beach to be covered in thousands of tar balls, and still washing up in the surf. On our way in we ran across a large slick of what was confirmed to be dispersant or corexit foam and a rainbow colored oil slick, lat 30,17.2609 long 88,46.5829W, all images have specific locations embedded in meta data. Birds were actually diving into this toxic oil and foam concoction.

8/9/10 Long 30,17.2702N Lat 88,46.5522W On our return to Biloxi from sampling with Boston Chemical Data, www.labs.pro at Horn island, we ran across this foamy oil slick spotted from the boat about halfway into port. The very familiar foam and visible rainbow oil sheen which our boat was sourounded by at times went on for at least 200 yards. Strongbear did take a sample on the way in, we strongly suspect it is corexit/BP oil related, tests of water will confirm or refute.
