"Even the people who make their living off the seafood-rich waters of Louisiana's St. Bernard Parish have a hard time swallowing the government's assurances that fish harvested in the shallow, muddy waters just offshore must be safe to eat because they don't smell too bad.
"Fresh splotches of chocolate-colored crude, probably globules broken apart by toxic chemical dispersants sprayed by BP with government approval, still wash up almost daily on protective boom and in marshes in reopened fishing grounds east of the Mississippi River."
Biloxi Press-Register: Mississippi Sierra Club chief says oil spill far from over; DMR chief says produce the evidence
"“We had a meeting Wednesday night where we had over 150 shrimpers… who are saying there is oil out there and these underwater plumes are varying in size and shape. This stuff is obviously moving around out there,” Louie Miller, state director of the Mississippi Sierra Club, said to the Press-Register.
"William Walker, executive director of the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources responded, “Quit talking about it without any evidence what you are saying is true.” [...] “I have no confidence in Bill Walker whatsoever. He might as well be working for BP. He is not protecting the resources of Mississippi… By doing all this, they have put us in a situation where the claims are going to be very limited and more easily contested by BP.”"
