Gulf Oil Disaster Recovery Group right again.

Did you watch the news tonight? The new 'cap' is already on the ocean
floor, sitting there and BP is instead going for a pipe to capture the
flowing oil? So in essence, the new "cap" has already been abandoned.
Why doesn't BP just say so?

“Due to the total lack of transparency by BP and Halliburton, the Gulf Oil Disaster Recovery Group, on behalf of the United Commercial Fisherman’s Association and the Louisiana Environmental Action Network (LEAN), has been forced to prepare subpoenas from the U.S. District Court in and for the Eastern District of Louisiana to compel BP to provide pertinent information regarding the cause of the DEEPWATER HORIZON catastrophe and its potential impact on human health and the environment," said Lead Counsel Stuart H. Smith.

This Sunday afternoon in New Orleans, Louisiana, commercial fisherman
George Barasich stepped forward asking for emergency relief from a
federal court to stop British Petroleum, plc (“BP”) from forcing the
volunteer corps of oil-spill responders to enter into onerous and
one-sided “Master Charter Agreements” (“MCA”) which will seriously
compromise the existing and future rights and potential legal claims
of these volunteers.

SEEKING COURT-ORDERED CLEANUP FOR LOUISIANA WETLANDS AND WATERS

Today, Louisiana commercial fisherman and the Louisiana
Environmental Action Network are seeking a declaratory
judgment and injunctive relief in the U.S. District Court,
Eastern District of Louisiana, against British Petroleum,
Halliburton, Transocean, Anadarko Petroleum, MOEX
Offshore, Cameron International, and their subsidiaries
regarding on-going damages these corporations’ actions
are causing to the wetlands, waters, commercial fisheries
and wildlife of Louisiana.
According to the suit, the following is being sought
from the Defendants:
a) Declaratory judgment that Defendants are responsible
for all damage to Louisiana’s wetland areas and waters caused by
Defendants’ negligence;
b) An injunction requiring removal of all oil from, and
restoration of, Louisiana’s wetland areas and waters resulting from
Defendants’ negligence;
c) An injunction requiring comprehensive monitoring and
testing of the waters of Louisiana that were impacted by oil as
a result of Defendants’ negligence;
d) An injunction requiring a long term abatement strategy and
implementation to ensure recovery of Louisiana’s wetland areas and
waters that were impacted by oil as a result of Defendants’ negligence; and
e) An injunction requiring re-seeding of all oyster habitats in
Plaquemines Parish and St. Bernard Parish which were impacted by
oil as a result of Defendants’ negligence.
Attorney Stuart Smith, Val Exnicious, and Gladstone Jones are
leading a legal team with vast experience in these types of cases.
The 11 involved law firms prosecuting claims for those impacted are
from Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
The suit does not make any financial claims at this time, said
Attorney Smith. The named plaintiffs are Ray Vath, a Louisiana
oysterman, and Mary Lee Orr, Director, Louisiana Environmental
Action Network Inc.
"We believe this event has the potential to be the largest
environmental disaster in the history of America. Without any
hesitation I can report that the lawyers from Louisiana, Texas,
Mississippi, Alabama and Florida who have joined together are
ready to protect the interests of all those who have suffered and
will continue to suffer as a result of this most unfortunate event,
and like all Americans, we hope BP stops the leak soon," said
Mr. Smith.
“We have worked with these lawyers for years on oil and gas issues.
This is terrifying. People need to see the human, economic and
environmental costs involved,” said Ms Orr.
The fisherman contend that 71 percent of all oysters consumed in the
U.S. come from Louisiana oyster beds in the areas impacted by the
oil spill caused by BP and its partners.

The Gulf Restoration Network (GRN) is following the situation
in the Gulf very closely. We will continue to make flyovers by
plane over the site where the Deep Water Horizon sank and where
oil is flowing freely into the open water. According to Cynthia Sarthou,
Executive Director of GRN, “the GRN is very concerned that the current
efforts underway to protect the resources of the Gulf and coast are inadequate."
