RED ALGAE, if they were that concerned they should have taken samples. Like i said in an above post, algae will look exactly like oil, espically when it starts to die off. I see it all of the time in wastewater ponds in the summer. I read this same article last week in the TP, environmental groups were out the next day taking samples. It does not take 5 days to analyze samples, just a few hours. Where are the FACTS not online articles.
I gotta stop this back and forth with you, i'm gonna get fired from work for being on-line so much. Get back to me when you have some facts and not an acticle cut and pasted from an online source. Do some research on algae, what causes it, what time of year it occurs, the dead zone off of the mouth of the mississippi, why this happens, etc.

I would also note that my link is from HuffPo- they aren't exactly known for non-hysterical headlines.
That said... I sure as hell don't think that BP has our best interests in mind and I believe all that phucking oil is SOMEWHERE out there.
As has been said numerous times on this thread, the best we should all hope for is that out of this disaster comes better regulation of the industry. We need to find a sensible balance between protecting our one and only ocean that we all love and SAFE, SMART extraction of oil so that you guys have plenty of fuel to burn so I can continue shooting you.
Also, too... Steve1- those fumes are bad for ya, mmm-kay?

That would make sense, and I sure hope you are right.

But don't forget, it's in BP's interests to have everybody believe the oil is gone. So misidentifying oil as algal bloom is good for them.

And Jay, as to "better regulation"...the oil companies want NO regulation which is why they're giving 95% of their campaign contributions to Republicans and Teabag candidates.
