Death! Everywhere the eye can see in oil disasters is suffering, death, and generations of ongoing loss.

In this photo taken May 10, 2015, a dead dolphin washes ashore in the Gulf of Mexico on Grand Isle, La. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientists stated in a report released, Wednesday, May 20, 2015, that there are links between BP’s catastrophic 2010 oil spill and a spate of dolphin deaths since the spill. The study is part of a wide-ranging assessment of ecological damage caused by the spill. BP has rejected that contention and said necropsies of dolphins and “other information reveal there is no evidence” to make the link between the spill and dolphin deaths.

More dead marine animals have washed up on Gulf Coast beaches since the BP oil spill but the scientific evidence as to the animals causes of death are in dispute. Have we seen enough? Is it finally time to say, “ENOUGH!”
