A New Mother Dips Her Child Into Little Lagoon in Gulf Shores
April 29th, 2011Does She Know the Risks?
GULF SHORES, Ala., April 23 — A new mother dips her child into Little Lagoon Pass in Gulf Shores, Alabama, one year after the BP oil gusher released an official estimate of 4.9 million barrels over three months into the Gulf, much of it making landfall along the marshes of Louisiana and Mississippi, and the beaches of Alabama and the Panhandle of Florida.
Then, an official estimate of 1.8 million gallons of Corexit, a byproduct of oil used as a dispersant, was dumped in the Gulf and along the shoreline, sinking the oil to the sea floor. It is still re-emerging on a daily basis somewhere along the coast, from the marshes of Louisiana to the beaches of Bon Secour, Alabama.
