Commercial fisherman frustrated by red tide fish kills destroying his livelihood

Dead fish by the thousands are causing a smelly mess in the water and on the shorelines around parts of Tampa Bay. Commercial fisherman David Gill was shocked when he first saw it Monday morning near the mouth of the Alafia River. “I wanted to scream and rip my hair out because I watched my livelihood die right in front of me,” says Gill, who has been fishing these waters since he was a boy. For years, Gill and other fishermen have traveled miles to get away from red tide, which he believes is exacerbated by pollution, including the release from Piney Point. He’s angry about it. video, >click to read< 10:59

    Hey, let’s give credit were credit is due!!! It was only a little over a decade ago ‘Horizon BP Deepwater oil spill!!! Dr.Jane “COREXIT” Lubchenco an Ocean expert on Estuaries decided to dump and spray millions of gallons of poisonous “COREXIT” Oil dispersant!!!! Despite having the full information of the effects of “COREXIT” used in 1989 after the Exxon Valdez spill!!!

    Hunter S. Thompson was pretty well dialed in too…

    Here’s a little advise,”Don’t f#ck with Mother Nature!!!” and “Don’t even think of f#cking with OUR OCEANS!!!”

    There was quite a write up about BP’s big $500 million collaborative that revealed Plumes of Methane , Crude, and dispersant. If this was revealed you would think it could be collected and filtered!!! BP has to finish what they just discovered!!! Oh, keep Dr.JL away from the Chemistry Set, please???
    A bowl of water a little Pepper and a drip of dispersant and she can relive the past!!! To think in comparison Catch Shares was a pee hole in the Snow!!! But your “COREXIT” maneuver was PLANET changing, it will be manipulating, and mutating for CENTURIES!!! The most DANGEROUS WOMAN on the PLANET!!! Regards,—SBH—
