| Help Restore Our Gulf |
The explosion and collapse of the oil drilling rig Deepwater Horizon has dumped hundreds of thousands gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf is one of the most ecologically sensitive areas on the planet, acting as a spawning ground and fishery for many marine species |
Bluefin tuna - Commercially overfished to the point of near-collapse, this spill directly impacts their spawning grounds |
| Sharks - Bioaccumulation of oil toxins could affect these apex predators for generations |
| Tarpon, snook and redfish - Adversely affected by an unusually cold winter, will experience further stress as the oil spreads along the coastline |
| Grouper and snapper - Could have direct interaction with oil as it settles on reefs. |
