On the Gulf Coast, from the Texas-Louisiana border through the Florida Panhandle, the dolphin die-off has gone on far longer, a phenomenon that scientists have been unable to fully explain. Since the first deaths nearly four years ago, more than 1,000 dolphins have died. The deaths initially began in Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana in February 2010, before the BP oil spill. The spill added other possible causes for the high rate of dolphin deaths.
Gulf Coast states and the federal government are still investigating the impact of the oil spill in the region, and scientists cannot yet say why the dolphins are dying. So far, it appears that toxins or morbillivirus are not the primary cause.
“We can’t conclusively say what role oil played at this time,” Ms. Fougeres said. “But the event is pretty unprecedented in terms of how long the die-off has been occurring and how many have died as part of that event.”

Dont know if its even polution much less spilt oil per the article but Mexico beat the us on oil sppillage as well. Oh, where exactly did I indicate the US does not pollute ? All Im oointing out is that if it turns out ti be related to crap being dumped, the US isnt the only player or necissarily the worst.

Note how the right all though BP was America?
they confused a british petroleum company with the US government.
that is how they think.
they are pro mega wealthy and against the vast majority of the human population.
how the fuck can anyone be that stupid?
the only one who should be on BP side of this is the people holding profits from them who have a gap where their heart should be.
These idiots are so brain washed they have brain farted a foreign company into their vision of what America should be.
They would allow BP to vote and back actual human Americans from voting to back their owners.
jesus people grow a moral

Completely Effed
I didn't realize British Petroleum was British!
Ive not come across anyone who thought that. They opted to merge with Standard Oil of Ohio and Amoco under the umbrella BP America making them a sizable player here. Not honestly sure if the Gulf exploration unit is BP-A or BP but as BP-A is majority owned by BP its kinda moot apart from the need to have a domestic presence to work here.
