(July 15-16, 2010 -- NEW ORLEANS) On July 14, WMR witnessed clean-up crews wearing respirators cleaning oil from the shore line of a lagoon in Gulf Shores, Alabama, a neighborhood surrounded by expensive condominiums and vacation rental homes.
Other beach communities where the median income is not as high have not seen such meticulous cleaning operations that include protection of clean up workers and the careful deployment of booms.
Oil boom laid in lagoon in Gulf Shores, Alabama to protect condos and vacation homes. WMR has learned that rental agencies and vacation home owners who rent out their properties -- and who have been plagued by cancellations in reservations -- are lining up to receive BP compensation from Kenneth Feinberg's BP compensation fund.
The word is that they will advance ahead of those who have lost their fishing jobs and other low-paid affected wage earners because many of those jumping the queue are among the wealthy elite of New York, North Jersey, Atlanta, and Chicago.
More boom laid across lagoon to protect vacation home inlets in Gulf Shores and surface skimmers are used to ensure dockside homes remain free from oil in Gulf Shores.
Some clean-up crews are wearing respirators. Illegal alien workers and other low-paid workers are not so fortunate. Many low-paid clean-up personnel are being laid off by BP.
As WMR departs the Gulf Coast and as BP began another public relations blitz announcing that they are optimistic about their latest well cap, disturbing news was received from animal rescue personnel in Grand Isle, Louisiana.
A strange sight was reported to marine wildlife personnel. When they deployed to find out what was being reported, fifty dead porpoises were discovered off the Louisiana coast.
