Latest report of lingering BP spill impact on Florida panhandle – see pics at http://oilspill.skytruth.org/reports/view/203 – j

Large tar patties have been found along this stretch of beach for several weeks.This is near Topsail Park at Stallworth Lake outflow into the Gulf. Hoping to have dive teams assess this area soon.

Clean up crews have been reduced again and will only be on a certain beach once every week or two and respond to call-ins from NRC/Unified Command. Sad state of affairs for our beaches along 30-A. This is what happened last year, and why we have buried oil on nearly 30 miles of our shoreline.

This current oil has been initially tested with UV light and found to be heavily contaminated.
Extensive lab work has been ordered.
