  • 21 August 2010. Bay Jimmy, south Louisiana. <br />
Sub contractors, working for contractors working for BP check, replace, remove and deploy absorbent oil boom as the worst environmental disaster in US history continues to unfold in south Louisiana. Bay Jimmy received another recent coating of oil despite government and BP efforts to persuade the public otherwise. The sub contractors were ordered over the radio 'Do not talk to journalists.' The culture of fear remains whereby any contractor speaking to the media fears he may lose his job.<br />

  • 16th Feb, 2006. Devastated Plaquemines Parish, just south of New Orleans, Louisiana. Coffins, sealed in hard plastic storage bins await re-burial at the Turner cemetery. Council man and local contractor Mike Mudge checks tags in the cemetery, surrounded by just a few of the hundreds of coffins he has recovered from all over the parish. The cemeteries in the parish were devastated by hurricane Katrina. Many of the coffins floated away and have now been recovered from the marshes and surrounding areas. Most of the remains have been identified and await burial for the second time. For now though, they wait above ground in cemeteries awaiting tombs tied to the land.

  • 1 June, 2006. Lakeview, New Orleans, Louisiana. Contractors for the US Army Corps of Engineers work on the $50 million 17th Street Canal Interim Closure structure. The dam, designed to prevent water build up in the canal during hurricane storm surges is almost complete. Between 30 and 50 workers per 12 hour shift work around the clock, seven days a week to complete the dam. They continue to drive pilings into the water and have the center section left to complete. The barrier has yet to be automated with hydraulic lifts. For now the Army Corps must use cranes to manually close the structure. The pumping capacity is currently only 10% of pre hurricane Katrina levels, potentially leaving the affluent Lakeview neighbourhood unprotected.

Despite government and BP efforts to persuade the public otherwise, oil continues to wash up in the marshes of Bay Jimmy, flowing under absorbent oil boom as the worst environmental disaster in US history continues to unfold in south Louisiana.  Despite concerted clean up efforts, filthy oil laden absorbent oil boom lies uselessly in the marshes the boom is suppose to protect.<br />

  • 21 May 2010. Grand Isle, Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. .BP Macondo Well disaster. Clean up crews contracted by BP commence the process of clearing oil, (and journalists where they can) from the beaches. Oil washes ashore in greater concentrations than previously seen on the once pristine beaches of Grand Isle. The economic and environmental impact is devastating with shrimp boats tied up, vacation rentals and charter boat fishing trips cancelled as police chase tourists from the beaches just two hours drive from New Orleans..Oil from the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe is evading booms laid out to stop it thanks in part to the dispersants which means the oil travels at every depth of the Gulf and washes ashore wherever the current carries it. .Photo credit; Charlie Varley.
