Many of these shots are from Venice Louisianna. I had the opporutnity to do a day of fishing out of Venice in 2001 with my good friend Bob Riches ( http://www.neeseind.com/ ) and really enjoyed myself. Venice is one of those spots that is almost "ya can't get there from here" and certianly can't go further w/o a boat.
The destruction is sad. Being a principal in a company that makes spill clean up products we are sending aborbent pads etc to the spill. At this point in technology though there just isnt a single agreed upon way to really work with large volume spills other than some skimming and booms. Dispersion only works 'ok' and the firing they didnt was only 'ok'.
THese spills must be prevented! I am happy to make my living selling spill kits and absorbents for hydraulic line spills in factories vs. the destruction of nature!
