New Oil Slick immediately off the coast of Grand Isle LouisianaOn March 18, 2011, I took a flight over the Gulf Coast with Bonny Schumaker of On Wings of Care, http://onwingsofcare.org/ from Horn Island Mississippi all the way to Raccoon Island to check on the status of wildlife, marshes, and other impacts from the BP Oil Spill. When we were slightly east of Grand Isle and Grand Terre island I started to see those familiar reddish streaks in the water, which extended from east of Grand Isle, Elmer’s Island, where it was very heavy, and past Fourchon almost to Timbalier Bay. I was hoping it was a red algae bloom especially after I saw pods of dolphin swimming in the red tide, but after submitting a few images to a marine biologist, I was informed that there was no way it could be algae, the temperature is not hot enough. Unfortunately there has been another spill. The exact source has yet to be determined but Bonny is flying out again today to try and track the source of the oil. As we all remember, BP’s Macondo well spewed more than 200 million gallons of crude into the Gulf last year.
