A newly discovered fish kill is raising concerns the BP oil spill continues to devastate the Gulf’s marine life. On Friday, hundreds of thousands of dead fish were discovered floating in Louisiana’s Plaquemines Parish. The parish’s president, Billy Nungesser, said government testing should be done to determine if the spill was a cause.
Billy Nungesser: “This is an extremely large fish kill, and there’s many species in there. It’s not just one group of fish; it’s redfish and trout and flounder. All species have been identified in this fish kill. We’re talking about the long-term testing of the quality of the water, the fish, and the environment. And we don’t see a collective group really wanting to know what’s going on. And we need to demand that happens.”
