On April, 20th, 2010 - The Deep Water Horizon Oil plateform in the Gulf Of Mexico began what is considered to this day as the worst american enviromental disaster to ever occur. (Or at least that is the story)

There was a 200 mile no fly zone established for over 3 months during the entire "clean up" process with little to no allocated coverage.

Thousands of animals of all kinds land,air & sea were all affected from this.

Unfortunately,

the statistics drawn from USDA, commercial fishing & wildlife conservation all conclude with the same answer.

Despite all the death that was caused to natural life from this lone accident,

research shows -

ONE single day of active commercial net fishing in the Gulf Of Mexico will kill more animals due to bycatch ( non sought after species/ non commercial ) and weighted net fishing practices than what was lost in the entire 3 month span of the B.P oil spill.

JUST ONE SINGLE DAY of what is considered typical modern day commercial fishing.

Something to think about? Or is it something that needs to be addressed?

Be your own judge.

Estimated life remaining in international waters 10 - 15 years scientists and marine biologists say.

Full scale net fishing practices were established in the mid 1950s and have been operating world wide for every country since that time..

& if none of that has you pissed off any,

top it off with this fun fact.

Florida is a peninsula surrounded by salt water with it's own dedicated commercial fishing fleets.

.. One would have to assume the shrimp you are eating at publix market or at any local restaurant would be relatively fresh considering it is being served to the general public and we live so close to the ocean in general.

Over 87% of seafood consumed in the US is imported from places like Thailand, Chyna & Taiwan.

Typically speaking,

your average shrimp anywhere mainland USA has been frozen on ice usually 4 - 6 months prior to it being sold on a grocery store isle or restaurant.

Food for thought!

Anyone going to do something about it?

.. We will see!

I’m finally back. Five days no water, ten days no power, twenty-one days no internet. I was only able to do a few videos before hell broke loose outside. My partner did not board up the house (shocker), and didn’t bring in his pet pigeons (don’t ask). We had to haul in my daughter’s pet rabbit that he forgot in the lanai when it started raining horizontally and the cage was literally sliding on the tile (you’ll see what I mean in the video). My daughter had a panic attack after hour three of the infernal storm, and once she calmed down, I had one of my own. It was horrible, worse than any other hurricane I’ve been through. The winds never stopped, the sound of shingles ripping off the roof consistent, and the air running through my attic was something I won’t ever forget. Sincerely thought that the roof was going to go when the winds shifted inland. I’m thankful that my family was safe, and I pray that my community will pull through this. Pray for us down here. We’re still recovering after almost a month. Here’s a video of what I sent my family of the aftermath at home.
