BP's oil spill, in pictures.

Crazy sad.

It reminds me that everyone in the media has been talking about the concerns of the oil reaching land, but look at that photo of the Bottlenose Dolphins swimming under the oil-covered water. It disturbs me that BP and others are treating this as, out of sight, out of mind. Think of all the organisms that live in the water, affected by over 4 million gallons of oil in the water, and the chemical dispersants used to sink the oil to the bottom of the ocean floor. What about those unique species living on the bottom of the ocean floor; are they not of any concern to us?
