		<description><![CDATA[The Press-Register of Mobile, Alabama discovered new BP oil seepingjust a mile from the site of last summer&#8217;s debacle.  BP wasted no time at all in claiming that the oil wasn&#8217;t theirs&#8230; but the facts prove otherwise.  The fingerprint is clear, as is the location of the oil &#8212; exactly where one would expect it... <a href="http://www.protecttheocean.com/call-on-congress-for-change/"> [Continue Reading]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are still millions of gallons of crude oil and at least 1.4 million gallons of Corexit in the Gulf's waters.  That oil and solvent continues to affect the creatures (including man) living in and near those waters.  A bit over a month ago, dead dolphins began littering the beaches, babies born premature or stillborn at TEN times the usual numbers -- and that's just the near-shore species' corpses that made it to the beach.  Despite government claims to the contrary, shrimp continues to come up laced with both oil and Corexit.  Instead of acknowledging this, our government simply raises the "acceptable" amount to 500 ppm -- when 2.6 ppm is lethal on fish fry within 96 hours. 
With that reality, one would THINK that the first order of business would be to find and extract the remaining oil and pollutants with that billion dollar down-payment.  One might think, but that's not what they're going to do. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the latest of repercussions from the BP debacle in the Gulf of Mexico, we got word of baby dolphins washing up dead on the shores Mississippi and Alabama -- at ten times the normal rate of stillborn mortality.... As Protect The Ocean warned last summer, the use of Corexit has made a tragic event  into a full-blown disaster of epic proportions.  We are just now beginning to see the effects of this myopic decision.  Corporate greed must never be allowed to choose and control the choices made in our planet's waters again.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Suggestions that it is Evaporating are fanciful at best.  Solvents are an oil-based product.  They don't just "evaporate" and disappear.  Even those aspects which can become airborne don't disappear. They pollute our air instead of our water... Some two MILLION gallons of Corexit have been dumped into the ocean by BP.  Given its propensity to spread ahead of the oil itself, there's little doubt that it is "dispersing" into other areas than the Gulf.  The good part is that doing so will reduce the concentration.  The bad part is that concentrations far lower than 2.6 ppm are likely to prove harmful and even lethal to marine life over a long period of time.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NOWHERE in that set of instructions does it suggest that it be used UNDER the surface, let alone at 156 atmospheres of pressure in near-freezing temperatures... When asked, Lisa Jackson was unable to justify why she did so, let alone why she ordered another 800,000 gallons of the same thing! ...As this is being written, satellite images are showing the world just how big the spill is, how your 5000 barrels a day is really about 20 times that much. Even your purchased news stories are being found out.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Saturday,  Jeffrey Collins (AP) reported that researchers from the National Institute for Undersea Science and Technology has detected massive 10 mile long underwater plumes of oil at depths between just below the surface and more than 4,000 feet deep... The incriminating AP story was short-lived on several sources.   Just a few short hours later, those very same links had been changed to BP's reporting some success with their latest attempt to capture oil.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[it's 3-4 times more toxic than the oil itself, makes the oil more effectively toxic by causing the oil to have a larger area exposed to ocean water, and because IT IS ILLEGAL TO USE IT AS IT HAS BEEN EMPLOYED UNDERWATER... If you are involved in or witness an environmental emergency that presents a sudden threat to public health, you must call the National Response Center at: 1-800-424-8802...  since there is no knowledge of the effects and impacts of releasing solvents under 5000 feet of water 50 miles offshore, there is no way that BP could have been issued a lawful permit to do so.]]></description>
