A local ABC News station has reported that two monster tarballs weighing one ton each have been found in Florida.

The reports says:

*two one-ton tarballs found south of Perdido Pass.

The crew of the life boat — “Sailfish” — which is a Vessel of Opportunity — discovered them.

A petty officer with the US Coast Guard took a picture on Saturday.

One Ton Tarball Found In Florida

While this is floating around President Obama yesterday declared Gulf seafood safe to eat

Barack Obama also promised Monday that “things are going to return to normal” along the stricken Gulf Coast and the region’s fouled waters will be in even better shape than before the catastrophic BP oil spill.

He declared, “I am confident that we’re going to be able to leave the Gulf Coast in better shape than it was before.”

Better than before? That seems to contradict claims by scientists who say the cleaning the wetlands may be impossible

Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen the head of the federal effort to contain and clean up the spill said that “Oil in the marshes is the worst-case scenario” but apparently no one has informed the president.

President Obama’s statements also seem to contradict scientist warning that a huge environmental experiment is going on in the Gulf of Mexico because BP has decided to spray neurotoxin pesticides.

In fact Nancy Rabalais is executive director and professor, Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON), and professor at Louisiana State University says that the Gulf Oil Spill can never be entirely cleaned up warning that some habits will be permanently destroyed.

Nancy Rablalias said that in spills like the BP Gulf Oil Spill oil seeps into the cobbles and keeps coming out for many years while comparing the spill to the IXTOC disaster of 1979.

There is also a growing concern that a number of species face extinction from the Gulf oil spill and the effects of the toxins from the oil, methane and dispersants have the ability to create dead zones which would kill of the entire food chain in certain areas.

Question: What causes a tar ball?

Comment: All this time I thought that Pres. Obama was an intelligent person. But when he said at a news conference yesterday that 90% of the oil gushing from the well head site would be capped ie.stopped I was stunned. Please, how can anyone possibly believe that? But, then I realized that a: most people are ill informed and don’t moniter the ROV cams and are up to speed on things such as sea floor leak. Hats off to Alexander Higgins. Explorer and Path maker! First to break ALL news about the real events unfolding in regard to oil spill. b: If the President said, “It will never be contained it is out of control kiss your life as you knew it before April 20 2010 Goodbye”

And that would cause mass hysteria the likes of which movies are made.Hoarding and various signs of ‘freaking out’

The truth can only be found on this site and the links here in ie. The other world, firedoglake, theoildrum and which I am about to visit Skytruth
