My favorite past time is inshore and offshore fishing in the MS Sound and Gulf. Spend ever spring, summer and most of fall on the water with the family. In all my years of being on the gulf and the beaches, I have only ever seen one dead sea turtle and it was obvious that it was done in by a boat prop.
Never seen a dead dolphin washed up on the beach nor have I ever read it reported locally.
The oysters are still here and the more prominent local restaurants are proud of their gulf caught oysters and shrimp.
The spillway debacle in LA is another story....but I have personally not witnessed any major effects on the AL coasts that can be contributed to the oil spill.
During the oil spill, all fishing was closed but reopened in Oct or Sep if I recall. The next year was some of the best fishing that we have seen in years just because all of the populations had a season off from fishing pressure.
OP, you were fed some BS.
