"Unfortunately, it’s unrealistic to rescue all wildlife impacted during oil spills." - quote by NOAA on oil-spills
--------------------------------------------------
Even oil spills on ocean surface roars
Grieving the odd dead birds washed up on shores
A few gallons slicks, crude sink
Spillers and Skimmers off sync
Priceless space tools - a gamble on all fours

Fathoms Deeper

"Fathoms Deeper"


What are these strange creatures?
They swim in skins
not their own

calling us 
into them 
they amuse us

we are fathoms deeper

they 
are a long way 
from Home

Premium Member Blue Crab Traveling On

Young Portunidae,
tiny paddles,
rotating 
full speed;
your motor blades,
making waves.

Sun-radiated 
psychedelic,
dyed waves
glinting;
shimmering
liquid Crayola
color box
are the
waters mirroring
your elegance.


Note: The lovely Blue Crab is a member of the family of crabs known as the Portunidae; a swimming crab with hind legs similar to paddles.  They are caught and eaten in many places.  Often they are crushed or killed by passing cars, as they feed on mangrove leaves.  Now they face possible extinction.  https://chesapeakebay.noaa.gov/fish-facts/blue-crab

 We often say that no two oil spills are alike, but one thing spills have in common is that cleaning oil off of shorelines is a messy business. If a ship sinks or an oil pipeline ruptures, the primary goals of spill responders are to contain the oil source to stop any (more) oil from leaking and to prevent already spilled oil from spreading. However, weather conditions and ocean currents may overwhelm containment booms and other offshore oil spill response strategies. That means escaping oil may reach shorelines both near to and far from the initial oil spill location.The impact of the cleanup methods themselves as we assess the overall environmental impacts of any action.

They

A group called They think They've got it licked
How are They able to predict
I'm sure you've heard of them before
They amazingly think They know the score

Who are these people we call They
Why is it They must convey
The rules for every mortal soul
As if these folks had total control

How can I trust these people They
How can I trust the words They say
Where do They come from, how many are They
Do They hold my fate in this game They play

Do They know me and the things I've seen
Are They upstanding or downright obscene
Do They worship God or the devil in hell
How can They presume to know things well 

They say today will be stormy skies 
They say that prices will soon rise
They got a handle much better than spies
They're experts at what They surmise

Maybe someday I'll get to meet They
I wonder if They're related to the N.O.A.A.
Don't bet all your money on what They say
They just might lead us all astray
