The Gulf of Mexico is a Superfund site and the State of Louisiana is its primary polluter.




At the title to this entry is a 'fun site' that reflects accurate understandings of 'ppm' (Parts Per Million) of 'natural' components of ocean water.  Any chemical composition outside of those parameters has 'A SOURCE' which is causing imbalance and potential danger to the fisheries, the fish consumed from those fisheries, threatened and endangered marine mammals and corals, which leads to impacts on economic dynamics including tourism, sports fishing, commercial fishing, etc., etc., etc.
 
It doesn't get easier than this.  The chemical components of ocean water is well known from decades of analysis.  Where the components of ocean water 'falls outside' the parameters of 'benign' to sealife is where analysis of 'fish meat' results in toxicity levels that effect human health which is also well documented.
 
There is absolutely no reason why the people fishing our waters and those eating fish from those waters should have ANY doubt to what they are hauling in and what is going to market. 
 
Where are the standards, where is the daily testing of fishery waters and where are the prohibitions on the petroleum industry to cause ANY and ALL toxicity to our waters.
 
NO OFFSHORE DRILLING UNTIL OUR COASTS ARE COMPLETELY SAFE AND STANDARDS ARE ESTABLISHED.
 
Oil consuming bacteria as a 'methodology' to oil spills is a wive's tale and nothing more because it robs our waters of vital oxygen for the fisheries to flourish.
 
There is no reason for any of this mess to exist.  It is measurable and vital to our national security.
 
Any State that allows components in their waters greater than what is reasonable without quick detection and response is negligent to citizens AND their economies.  Where States have been negligent in setting these standards and enforcing them the federal government IS REQUIRED to set standards and enforcement.  Just that simple.
 
The people of the USA are tired of States that abuse their powers forcing the entire country to deal with their negligence while running up our national debt.
