Safe and Open For Fishing???

Bayou La Batre 9/12/10    Bayou La Batre 9/12/10   These are but a few of the images coming out of Bayou La Batre, Alabama today, September 12, 2010.  A few fishermen risked harassment and arrest in order to document what appears to be oil and oil/dispersant mix coming ashore.  Several reports were made with the Bayou La Batre Police Department and other government agencies.  Shortly after these photos were taken, three airboats appeared (two from ES & H and one local Sheriff's boat) to stir up the waters, appearing to try to push the oil back out.  As I write, residents report unusually low flying aircraft, leaving many to suspect dispersants are still being used in these waters.  Waters which have been deemed "safe" and open for fishing.
