Oil-covered Dolphin Washes Up on Florida Shore
The reality of the impact from the oil spill gets darker and darker, and it seems I can’t turn on any news channel carried by DISH Network without hearing yet another fallout from the disaster that shocks me.
Florida saw the worst of it on Wednesday June 23rd as thick oily sludge washed ashore, carrying with it an oil-covered dolphin.
The dolphin was found near Fort Pickens, an area affected by the sludge. Emergency workers, along with the help of the Coast Guard, kept the dolphin wet until a wildlife decontamination crew arrived.
Despite fervent efforts to save the dolphin, it died enroute to Gulf World Marine Park, a rescue facility in Panama City.
