Gulf Oil Spill Effects On Wildlife
What are and will be the effects of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill on the wildlife in the area? — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — Scientists to study impact of gulf oil spill on marine food webs Shells from oysters, clams, and periwinkles hold clues about the ways and rates at which harmful compounds from the spill are being incorporated into the Gulf’s marine food web. New reports are surfacing every day about the immediate impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on Gulf Coast wildlife, especially as the oil reaches the sensitive marshlands along the coast. But how will these communities be affected over time? Scientists currently know very little about how long it takes for the hydrocarbons and heavy metals in crude oil to work their way through marine food webs. To address this issue, California Academy of Sciences researcher Peter Roopnarine is working with Laurie Anderson from Louisiana State University and David Goodwin from Denison University to collect and analyze three different types of mollusks from the Gulf Coast. These animals are continually building their shells, and if contaminants are present in their environment, they can incorporate those compounds into their shells. Roopnarine and his colleagues will study growth rings in the shells – much like scientists would study tree rings – to determine how quickly harmful compounds from the oil become incorporated into the animals’ homemade armor …

I moved to Houston from LA b/c of Katrina and have recently lost my job…I would be willing to come to LA to help with any clean up especially w/animals…Pls let me know what I can do…
who this hillbilly faggot on here talking about running over birds
Raise your hand if you are glad we have forced Oil drilling in to 1 mile deep water instead of an area that if this happened it could easily be fixed in a few days by divers in shallow waters.
I drive a big 4×4 that get’s 6 miles a gallon… No Mufflers and I run over birds every chance I get! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Hawwwwwwwwwww bitches!
@oreillyjoey It is my world, when I make the best decisions to keep it as healthy as possible. I don’t own a car, I cycle everywhere I need to go.
@chestbuster1987 Don’t blame the human race for what one greedy multinational corporation did.
British Petroleum fails, NOT THE PEOPLE.
We didn’t want foreign oil drilling off American coastlines, we begged him, but Obama wouldn’t listen and turned a blind eye to America’s no-drilling demands, following the orders instead, like a monkey grabbing for re-election dollars, his campaign financiers known as BP.
Obama FAILS
British Petroleum FAILS
evil rich people FAILS
greed FAILS
NOT, WE THE PEOPLE!
@questionsleadtotruth It not your world, you own nothing and you will leave with nothing. Now drive away in your big car and turn up your heating. Get a grip
Okay the ANIMAL IN THE WHITE HOUSE U S Coast Guard & all the newspaper reporters in America figured out a way to crawl up BPs rectum!
See my videos and I will prove to you that 43,000,000 G.P.D. are spilling into the Gulf of Mexico
I dare anyone in this world to prove my numbers wrong by utilizing statistical facts that can be verified from BP and I will stop writing this crap
So stop writing me telling me my #s are incorrect
its so sad….why not set the oil on fire and make it continuously rain in the gulf to filter the smoke, since nasa can make it rain ….all it would do is filter the smoke out..and keep doing it till its fixed…crazy idea but hey it may help…or even kiss the gulf good bye and close it in…fill in the gab so the oil wont leak out of the Gulf until it can be fixed….anything is possible with the right amount of determination…I hope its fixed fast….WTD…Big Willwill…look for Willstaza.

how can you let companies drill without a plan in place for a disaster like this…….
they had the oportunity to fix the rig before it exploded, they just chose to ignore it…
Dipshits have to drill for oil we dont have a choice less we go use a different substitute for energy til that happens you can expect this sort of thing.
Watch me prove that we are being lied to, and prove it is 43 M G P D
Plus BP only had permission to drill to 18,000 feet and this well was completely illegal at 33,000 feet
AREA x flow rate { = } VOLUME
43 MILLION GPD IS SPEWING FROM THAT PIPE
WANT THE TRUTH WATCH MY VIDEOS ~ NOT for the weak minded!
You will also see how the 44 pOtus is Lying though his ears~
Animal in the white house
Google this for the truth {{ morgan city la Second rig down }}
Nationalize The Oil Industry.
You are paying for your natural rights to be stolen from you.
Demand a check from the Oil industries, just like the Alaskans.
Demand your natural rights.
@cherrydog9 And terrifying that this deep sea drilling is going on all over the world. Its like pushing the button for nukes and having no shut of or safety detonation.
@Danielst16
evolution!?!?!, give me some REAL evidence…
Man we should all boycot petrol/oil, yeah the economy will probably break appart but we’d get through it, the population might drop as a result as well, allowing evolution to take its course for once.
I cannot help but comment on the not inconsiderable role religion plays in the rape of our world in the name of greed. Fundamentalist Christians believe that someday the world will be destroyed and a new heaven and earth will take its place and the faithful few will inherit this paradise. Thus, by this mindset, it doesnt matter what we do with this world since it will eventually be destroyed anyway.
ruined.
how can the oil companies not have a solution to fix this? it’s mind-boggling
On a last note, we should understand without oil, we will be poor but hopefully survive, but without Earth, no-one will survive. #alternative-fuel .. its time to cut the cord, and #stopdrilling No-one has to die for Oil
I don’t know should Like this video or should I unlike this video !! Is there third option where I can do I unlike the day I have to watch this unfortunate video. #GoVegetarian which is the only way to save our planet. More you eat that more they will have to provide that. More they have to grow that. More saving of Earth Crust. More we will stop killing each other. More we will respect each other, more we are able to respect other species as well. It will be too late. We are the biggest asshole
Our Brain is too much developed compare to resources, we are unable to handle ourselves with this highly developed gift give by this beautiful mother nature. And we never grown up enough to learn how to properly poop ourselves. We are pooping everywhere on our mother nature, and it has started to stink. #PureHumanfail Let’s all be grown ups and poop properly please, otherwise we will die in our own poop, not today not tomorrow but soon. Its time to respect our own mother Bring back the Forest
arsehole you cheese head arsehole pants on top of your trousers
I hope the “drill baby drill” crowd is happy now those fucking pieces of shit.
