Activity- Carl Safina

I watched the very touching video from Carl Safina, and I think he has alot of good points.  First he told us a story about how his friend called him and told him he had been fishing for almost his whole life and in all his life he had never seen a dolphin come up the boat before.  Dolphins scare the fish away so he was trying to get away from the dolphin, but the dolphin kept coming by the boat, and when it was by the boat is blew water and oil out of its blow whole, it was like the dolphin was coming to ask for help.  I feel this video among many have really taught me about oil spills and how they aren't really accidents more so negligance per say. I feel people could have avoided this crisis if they had maybe thought to prepare a back up plan if something did go wrong, but the government and companies did not, and it is not that surprising.  They try and make it seem like they are getting everything back to normal when everyone knows nothing will go back to normal or it will be a very long time until it does so. As Carl said, there are bird habitats in the middle of the oil spill and they are bringing the birds to clean and then bringing them back to the bad environment, just so that in a couple more months they are going to have to clean them all again. "It's like treating a person that was just in the burining building for heart and lungs problems and than sending them back into the fire". (Carl Safina) its not a very smart thing to do.  I agree 100% with all of Carl's explanations and theories and hope someday eventually all the oil will disappear from the ocean.
