Tissue study ties dolphin deaths to Deepwater Horizon spill
Diseased lungs and adrenal glands found in dead dolphins on northern Gulf of Mexico beaches are evidence of petroleum contamination, and show the 2010-2012 die-off was linked to the Deepwater Horizon [operated by BP] oil spill, researchers reported.
“We found dolphins dying after the oil spill had distinct lung and adrenal gland lesions…These dolphins had some of the most severe lung lesions I’ve seen,” said Dr. Kathleen Colegrove of the University of Illinois, the lead veterinary pathologist on the study sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Only time will reveal the true extent of BP's negligence. It will probably get worse as years go by.
