MOBILE, Ala. (WPMI) A federal mandate to remove old, abandoned oil and
gas rigs in the Gulf of Mexico is blowing up a lot more than just the
rigs.
Undercover video obtained by Local 15 shows thousands of
pounds of dead fish, mostly red snapper, floating to the surface after
one of the controversial demolitions in the Gulf.
“Good Lord,”
marine scientist Dr. Bob Shipp said, when Local 15 showed him the video.
“As a scientist, I think it’s abominable.”
Shipp said the
demolitions are frequent, sometimes three a week in the Gulf, but are
seldom video-taped. Shipp also sits on the Gulf Fisheries Management
Council, and has been a strong opponent of the demolitions.
