Your remarks don't indicate that you are familiar with any of the information that is coming from any of the tradititional fish industry farmers.

The Corexit alone impacted the marine life.

The BP catstrophe put the brown shrimp and blue fin tuna into a near catastropic decline. And if those two species suffered, it indicates a lot of terrible news for people wanting to eat seafood from that region. Shrimp and tuna are bottom feeders and they are eaten by other fish who occupy a higher position in the food chain. If those 2 species are in decline, it indicates a lack of health in most of the marine life there.

Here is what the National Wildlife Federation had to say in a piece written in 2013:

I don't dispute that the area is experiencing massive growth, but growth doesn't necessarily translate into a clean bill of health for the fishing industry there.

After all, America's number one resource is DENIAL.
