    It happened and it's done, but shouldn't we be doing EVERYTHING we can to prevent another spill like this?

    This just makes me sad to read this. I know it's "just fish and just shrimp" but they are still living things and it makes me sad especially when I read "oozing sores" and no eyes. They are defenseless. All because of this nonesense. Truly a shame.

    Maybe I'm just a big wussie and a softie when it comes to animals and living things. I don't know.

    But sad story...poor fishes and shrimps :(

    BP has maintained that Gulf seafood is safe, saying in a statement, "Seafood from the Gulf of Mexico is among the most tested in the world, and, according to the FDA and NOAA, it is as safe now as it was before the accident."

    bp should have paid more than it did.

    just wait, it will happen again...

    and then everyone is gonna be angry for a month and then forget all about it...

    i'm sorry but this made me laugh out loud. :lol::lol:

    didn't we? i think so. can't tell ya a thing about them. some talking head on tv said something like that.....

    new and stiffer regulations....but are even the old ones enforced??

    case in point...bp falsified and lied on safety records, the government says 'meh, no big deal'

    BP Whistle-Blower Says Gulf Atlantis Facility Remains Unsafe

    BP Plc (BP\)’s Atlantis facility remains unsafe, according to a whistle-blower who said in a court filing that the company’s second-largest oil producer in the Gulf of Mexico is operating under permits BP obtained by lying to regulators.

    “Immediate court action is needed to remedy unsafe conditions on Atlantis,” Mikal Watts, an attorney for former BP contractor Kenneth Abbott, said in papers filed yesterday seeking a trial date in federal court in Houston, where the case has been pending since 2009.

    “BP has falsely certified compliance with critical environmental and safety regulations” to pump billions of dollars in petroleum from the offshore facility, the lawyer said. “BP’s corporate policy and practice is to buy its way out after it is caught and then do it again.”

    Abbott sued London-based BP in 2009 on behalf of the U.S. government, seeking to get a judge to shut down Atlantis, which produces about 120,000 barrels of oil daily, according to court records. Abbott said the judge should appoint a special master to oversee measures to bring the offshore facility into compliance with safety and environmental laws.

    He also seeks $7.8 billion from BP, which he estimated in court papers is the value of oil and gas the company has pumped through Atlantis since it came online in 2007.

    Atlantis ‘Safe’

    BP said in its own court filings that Atlantis is safe and that Abbott’s complaints were dismissed by federal regulators who investigated the issue after the April 2010 blowout of BP’s Macondo well drilled by the Deepwater Horizon. The Atlantis production platform is located about 100 miles (161 kilometers) south of where the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig disaster occurred.

    “We fundamentally disagree with plaintiffs’ claims in this lawsuit,” Daren Beaudo, a BP spokesman, said yesterday in an e- mail. “The Department of Interior conducted a thorough investigation of Mr. Abbott’s lawsuit allegations and concluded that Mr. Abbott’s allegations are unfounded and the Atlantis platform is safe and should continue to be operated by BP.”

    The U.S. Interior Department in March 2011 said that BP’s deficiencies in documentation for the platform posed no “serious” safety risks, following its investigation of Abbott’s allegations.

    Lawyers for BP and Abbott will meet before U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes on March 19. Abbott’s lawyers said they will seek an immediate hearing on safety issues.

    The case is United States of America Ex Rel. Abbott v. BP Exploration and Production Inc., 4:09-cv-01193, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas (Houston).

    Gimmi maybe the government should have had to share in the law suits and blame for not inforcing thier regulation or suing some of those inspectors and friends that are employed by the government to enforce these rules.. I think if a person is employed to do a job they should be held accountable for any glitch on the job by their boss's and their bosses should be held accountable for actions of their inspectors, that's the way in works in the private sector right ?
