BP Oil Spill: Is The Seafood Really Safe? NRDC’S Gina Solomon: Where’s the Testing?
Doctors, researchers, scientists and citizens, like Dr. Solomon, are waging a silent battle against government agencies that are failing to fulfill their own organizational directives. As Project Gulf Impact gathers more firsthand accounts of how the Gulf of Mexico is being dangerously neglected, the situation in the Gulf grows worse. With new reports of oil washing onto shore and into the bayou, the numbers of affected life are increasing, not dropping. Several of our interviews have left us asking, why is organized, decisive action not being taken?
More information can be found in Dr. Solomon’s recent blog entries, linked below:
“Gulf Shrimp Testing: Is a Dozen Samples in 5000 Square Miles Enough to Reassure You?”
http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/gsolomon/gulf_shrimp_testing_still_not.html
And “Six Months, Five Shrimp, and One Nasty Mess: Health & Seafood Safety Concerns from BP Spill Still Linger in Gulf Today”
Here: http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/gsolomon/six_months_five_shrimp_and_one.html
Where she writes, “…the Federal government reopened 2,927 square miles of the Gulf to fishing and shrimping, just South of the Mississippi Delta. The Feds confirmed that the area was safe for shrimping by performing a “sniff test” for oil odors on five shrimp samples. They confirmed the sniff test with three composite samples of shrimp sent for chemical testing from an approximately 1,000 square mile area. No information was provided to the public on the size or location of the shrimping grounds or why so few chemical analyses were performed. This does not seem sufficient to assess the safety of the seafood coming out of the Gulf right now.”
Transcript of introduction:
“The seafood testing so far has been so frustrating because it has been so, really unscientific. It’s not that hard to do a basic seafood testing program. You go out and you figure out how many samples you need in order to have adequate statistical power to pick up a problem if it’s really out there, and then you go out and you do it. But what’s happening right now is this sort of sporadic, willy-nilly re-openings by different agencies, by state and federal government agencies, sometimes on the basis of really almost no testing results.”

Scientists Sniff-Test Gulf Seafood
October 13, 2010—In the wake of the BP oil spill, scientists from a U.S. government lab in Pascagoula, Mississippi, are using a low-tech tool to analyze seafood from the Gulf of Mexico—the human sense of smell. Likening the sniff-testers to wine tasters, researchers say the nose can catch warning signs that chemical tests may miss

Fishermen Visit Obama’s Gulf Vacation With Concerns About Seafood Safety w/ Kindra Arnesen Part Two
Part Two
“On Sunday, August 15th, fishing families from across the Gulf Cost will gather in Panama City Beach, Florida, with a message for President Obama: The Gulf of Mexico is still infused with oil and dispersants from the BP disaster, threatening marine life, livelihoods, and the health of the American people.”
“Fishermen do not want to lose our credibility or deliver contaminated seafood to market and make people sick.” – Kathy Birren
“While President Obama and state officials claim that the Gulf is ‘open for business,’ these fishermen say the spraying of dispersants in the Gulf of Mexico is ongoing and they’re concerned that seafood pulled from impacted waters is unsafe for eating.”
“The tissue testing of this seafood is inadequate and testing for the toxic dispersants is non-existent.” – Tracy Kuhns, Louisiana Bayoukeeper
“I think it is crucial for the public to be made aware of the concerns of the commercial fishermen. And if a commercial fisherman who makes his living off of those products doesn’t want to deliver them to the public, the public needs to know why.” – Chris Bryant, Commercial Fisherman

BP’S LEAKING by TomV
Janet said we were all doing BP songs so this is mine. I wrote it this morning and threw it together so it is what is. I didn’t listen to anyone else’s BP song except for Janet’s so if I snagged a phrase or a word,….it was completely innocent and unintentional. We’re kinda having fun with this from a songwriting standpoint but it is not funny in the least as a global ecological, economical or social issue. This is pretty much bad ya’ll.
