Over 9 Million Gallons of Oil Spilled in Gulf of Mexico After Hurricanes Katrina and Rita
- "How about 9.2 million gallons in the Post Katrina and Rita Gulf of Mexico region according to the Coast Guard? Thats not counting up to 3 million gallons released after a barge hit a sunken oil-rig in November (See Blue Notes #22). When I was in the Gulf a few weeks after Katrina I thought there would be major media coverage of the spills after the final human remains were collected, but for some reason this never happened." - excerpt from the email newsletter, Blue Notes #24 An Occasional Ramble by the Sea, 3/23/2006.
