It's horrible. I can't imagine what will happen to the fishermen and the small towns that rely on fishing. I woke up feeling so depressed. They've been through enough already.
They haven't even begun to stem the tide of oil yet, much less the cleanup. The waters are too rough. The local parishes are doing what they can to keep the oil out of the wetlands and out of the lake.
We've got to figure out what went wrong and how to build in safeguards so it doesn't happen again.
I wish there was something I can do. As far as I know there's nothing. The volunteers they're asking for so far is fisherman and other people with boats to help try to block the spread of the oil into the wetlands and estuaries.
