Workers cleaning pelican at Fort Jackson Wildlife Rehabilitation Center 15. Workers putting pelican into cage STORYLINE Obama administration officials continued defending their response to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill disaster while criticising that of BP PLC, which leased the offshore rig and is responsible for the cleanup. US Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said on Sunday that he has doubts about how BP is handling the oil spill crisis. "Do I have confidence that they know exactly what they are doing? No, not completely," Salazar said. However, he added that BP was "throwing everything that they can at the problem". "If we find they're not doing what they're supposed to be doing, we'll push them out of the way appropriately," Salazar said. But federal officials have acknowledged that BP has expertise that they lack in stopping the deep-water leak. A mile-(1.6-kilometre) long tube operating for about a week has siphoned off more than half a (m) million gallons (1.9 (m) million litres) in the past week, but it began sucking up oil at a slower rate over the weekend. Even at its best the effort did not capture all the oil leaking, and the next attempt to stanch the flow won't be put into action until at least Tuesday. BP refused to provide day-by-day figures on how much oil the tube was diverting. At least six (m) million gallons (22.7 (m) million litres) of crude have spewed into the Gulf, though some scientists have said they believe the spill already surpasses the 11 (m) million-gallon (41.64 (m) million litre) 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill off Alaska as the worst in US history. Meanwhile, in Barataria Bay, orange oil had made its way a good 6 inches (15 centimetres) onto the shore, coating grasses and the nests of brown pelicans in mangrove trees. The pelicans struggled to clean the crude from their bodies, splashing in the water and preening themselves. Pelican eggs were glazed with rust-coloured gunk, and new hatchlings and nests were also coated with crude. Pelicans are especially vulnerable to oil. Not only could they eat tainted fish and feed it to their young, but they could die of hypothermia or drowning if they're soaked in oil. Just six months ago, the birds had been removed from the federal endangered species list. Wildlife officials tried to rescue oil-soaked pelicans on Sunday, but they suspended their efforts after spooking the birds. They weren't sure whether they would try again. Officials have considered some drastic solutions for cleaning the oil, like burning or flooding the marshes, but they may have to sit back and let nature take care of it. Plants and pelican eggs could wind up trampled to death by well-meaning humans. If the marshes are too dry, setting them ablaze could burn plants to the roots and obliterate the wetlands. Flooding might help by floating out the oil, but it also could wash away the natural barriers to flooding from hurricanes and other disasters, much like hurricanes Katrina and Rita washed away marshlands in 2005. State and federal officials spent millions rebuilding the much-needed buffer against tropical storms. The spill's impact now stretches across 150 miles (240 kilometres), from Dauphin Island, Alabama to Grand Isle, Louisiana. It is unclear if the area can even be cleaned, or if the birds can be saved. It is also unknown how much of the Gulf Coast will end up looking the same way because of a well that has spewed untold (m) millions of gallons (litres) of oil since the offshore rig exploded more than a month ago. US President Barack Obama has named a special independent commission to review what happened. The spill began after the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded off the coast of Louisiana on April 20, killing 11 workers - the rig sank two days later. Salazar and Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano were to lead a Senate delegation to the region on Monday to fly over affected areas and keep an eye on the response. The leak may not be completely stopped until a relief well is dug, a project that could take months. Another effort that BP said will begin on Tuesday at the earliest will shoot heavy mud, and then cement, into the blown well, but that

Wide of fishing trawler pulling oil covered boom through water STORYLINE The wildlife apocalypse along the Gulf Coast that many have feared for weeks is fast becoming a terrible reality. Pelicans struggle to free themselves from oil, thick as tar, that gathers in hip-deep pools, while others stretch out useless wings, feathers dripping with crude. Dead birds and dolphins wash ashore, coated in the sludge. Seashells that once glinted pearly white under the hot June sun are stained crimson. Scenes like this played out along miles of shoreline on Saturday, nearly seven weeks after a BP rig exploded and the wellhead a mile below the surface began belching millions (m) of gallon of oil. The oil has steadily spread east, washing up in greater quantities in recent days, even as a cap placed by BP over the blown out well began to collect some of the escaping crude. The cap, resembling an upside-down funnel, has captured about 252,000 gallons of oil, according to Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen, the government's point man for the crisis. If earlier estimates are correct, that means the cap is capturing from a quarter to as much as half the oil spewing from the blowout each day. But that is a small fraction of the 23 million (m) to 47 million (m) gallons government officials estimate have leaked into the Gulf since the April 20 explosion that killed 11 workers, making it the nation's largest oil spill ever. BP officials are trying to capture as much oil as possible without creating too much pressure or allowing the build-up of ice-like hydrates, which form when water and natural gas combine under high pressures and low temperatures. In Louisiana, along the beach at Queen Bess Island, oil pooled several feet deep, trapping birds against unused containment boom. With no oil response workers on Queen Bess, Plaquemines Parish coastal zone management director PJ Hahn decided he could wait no longer, pulling an exhausted brown pelican from the oil, the slime dripping from its wings. Meanwhile, off Grand Isle, Louisiana a large group of biologists and fish and wildlife agents were out on the water looking for oil-covered birds. The officials rescued the birds that could no longer fly. Speaking about the rescue efforts, Kayla Dibenedetto from the US Fish and Wildlife agency said "it's an adrenaline rush but we know we're doing our job and that's what we're here to do and it feels great to get one at a time." After six weeks with one to four birds a day coming into Louisiana's rescue centre for oiled birds at Fort Jackson, 53 arrived on Thursday and another 13 Friday morning, with more on the way. Federal authorities say 792 dead birds, sea turtles, dolphins and other wildlife have been collected from the Gulf of Mexico and its coastline. Yet scientists say the wildlife death toll remains relatively modest, well below the tens of thousand of birds, otters and other creatures killed after the Exxon Valdez ran aground in Alaska's Prince William Sound. The numbers have stayed comparatively low because the Deepwater Horizon rig was 50 miles off the coast and most of the oil has stayed in the open sea. The Valdez ran aground on a reef close to land, in a more enclosed setting. Experts say the Gulf's marshes, beaches and coastal waters, which nurture a dazzling array of life, could be transformed into killing fields, though the die-off could take months or years and unfold largely out of sight. The damage could be even greater beneath the water's surface, where oil and dispersants could devastate zooplankton and tiny invertebrate communities at the base of the aquatic food chain. President Barack Obama pledged on Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address to fight the spill with the people of the Gulf Coast. His words for oil giant BP PLC were stern: "We will make sure they pay every single dime owed to the people along the Gulf coast." But his reassurances offer limited consolation to the people who live and work along the coasts of four states, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, now confronting the oil spill first-hand. In Orange Beach, Alabama, Bob Fryar, a senior vice president for BP, said the company was pleased with the results from the cap. Still residents and officials alike were expressing frustration over BP's handling of the crisis. "It's really aggravating for someone to walk in here whose never been to our town to put on a pretty, rosy picture when it's just not the case," Tony Kennon, mayor of Orange Beach, Alabama, said.

This is followed by press conf 17;26;46 CU of OIL ON SAND 17;27;06 SHOT OF JINDAL STEPPING DOWN ONTO BEACh 17;27;24 JINDAL HELPING OTHERS DOWN TO BEACH JINDAL 17;29;02 I want to first of all thank senator Vitter and counsel john for being here from Jefferson parish. 17;28;09 we're here on east grand terre isle - this is the site of state's first sand dredge 17;28;21 three weeks ago made request to us amry corps engineers to build sand booms to protect our coastline - we could have protected 4000 miles coastline from re-protecting with booms 17;28;35 impt bc want to fight on barrier isle rather than oil coming through to wetlands 17;28;45 took weeks to get response instead of waiting we actually had a dredge under contract - 30 mil coastal restoration project - we told dredge start building boom - weren't going to wait for bp 17;29;06 when it's done will be over 3 miles - impt - heavy oil coming here. If boom wasn't here oil would have gotten past this and into island. So impt to fight oil on barrier isle. 17;29;26 LA has over 7000 miles of wetland.s gulf's nursery. 17;29;45 A week ago today they approved six permits and told bp to pay for onen. A total of six segments. I'm here to send a message to bp today 17:29:57 fed gov told bp to go out for the five. We told gov to make bp responsible We have not gotten satisfactory response . we said sign contracts or get out of way and let us get it done 17:30:24 state is mobilizing dredges today. We've asked army corps of engineers to release dredges that are under contract to them. The reason this is so important is that if we had approval three weeks ago we would have ten miles built today its important we get this done. You can see the oil here instead of in the wetlands. You see the dead bird and you can see an oil browned pelican over here 17:31:15 you can see it in the bottle right there. You are seeing they oil coming off the shore. We are about one hundred miles from spill and you are seeing the oil here already 17:32:04 cu pelican covered in oil. 17:32:16 this is so sad you see the young bird here and you see the adult brown pelican to our right. The state's official bird. Just recently taken off the endangered species list. Yu see it here, on cat island. The biologists are coming out to clean up the bird and try to release it. But you go to cat island and see nests with eggs and young, but sometimes its' too late for the young. Many might die. We're concerned about the future of these birds. 17:33:16 that's why its so important for us to make sure the oil dose not reach these wetlands. It's an important place for these pelicans. Important for the entire country, migratory birds. 17:33:41 this is tragic sad. And why we are fighting for our way of life. 17:33:51 this one pic has everything. Why were fighting so hard for our state. About our way of life. Not just econ, checks , it's about our way of life. Generations who have grown up fishing off these coasts. 17:34:18 this is Americas wetlands and if you look at what the oil is doing we are so impatient to do everything we can to fight and protect way of life 17:34:38 the reality is we shouldn't have to choose safe domestic production of energy and preservation of wild life. They can coexist. 17:35:02 it didn't work in this case. Need to figure out if they need better regulations, response plans. The fed needs to do a better job of overseeing industry so no repeat of this accident. 17:35:25 we all are in support of alternative renewable energy. But we need hydrocarbons for foreseeable future. Lets not become more dependent on foreign countries. 17:35:53 my request to the what is do everything you need to do job. Don't take a day longer than you need. People will loose jobs if moratorium goes longer than predicted. They don't know if they will be here.if this will go longer or shorter. 17:36:28 the biologists are on their way. 17:36:36 the reason this is so sad is many of us know these areas like back of our hands. We shouldn't have to see this oil coming into our wetlands. That's why we are not waiting for bp. We are ordering the dredges to be organized 17:37:03 cu on pelican in water/oil 17:37:13 this isn't hypothetical, this is oil hitting la shore as we speak. Thankfully state built this boom so we don't get more oil inside these populated areas. 17:37:35 this is heartbreaking. Angers every louisianian who sees this. If this wasn't fortified this would be behind us getting into the wetlands 17:37:57 it saddens us. This is our state bird. No reason oil should be hitting our wildlife/fisheries. We should nto have to choose between oil. 17;38;08 SHOT OF PELICAN IN OIL 17;38;54 SHOT OF PELICAN IN MUCK 17:38:24 im not taking anything away from bp's reponsiblity. I support fed to doing what they need to do. I don't want them to take a day loner than they need to. 17:38:45 you have some of same people being impacted at risk of losing jobs. 17:38:55 continued cu of pelican in oil 17:39:00 SHOT OF MUCK 17:39:01 we don't want another spill, more oil. one drop of iil is one too many 17:39:10 our coastal leaders like this that appears even though you don't' see it. 17:39:39 cu of coast 17:40:35 cu pelican drenched with oil, walking 17;40;38 SHOT OF PELICAN DRENCHED IN OIL 17:40:52 cu water, waves with bird covered in oil struggling to move (very good) 17:41:19 Jindal gets back in helicopter 17:42:06 aerial view from helicopter CONTINUED: (not jindal until 18:04:14 ) Things have improved from your Friday visit mr president Our visit to east there was a perfect example. The state went ahead to build barriers. And we see its working. 18:00:00 we see its working out of our inner marsh which is so crucial 18:00:00 we have been pushing bp . and finally the feds gave the go ahead for the rest of the plan. I have two reactions. Finally, and 40 percent is 40 percent. When the other 60 percent. 6:01 and three, even for this 40 percent bp is playing games not sending the state a check. They need to order, not ask, but order. We need to treat this like a war. That's the response it deserves. We all are here in la. The question is when bp will starts. 18:02:15 18:02:19 your'e only as strong as your weakest link 18:02:30 you heard the gov. this is threatening their way of life. The enemy isnt to coming in form of ships and tanks but oil. Its ben 45 days and bps proving its not up to the task. 18:02:58 the oil is beneath the surface we need to use every asset. Bp needs to step up to the plate. We are doing psa announcements. Sign contracts and get job done. One final message for president, he has said hed doing whatever it takes. I ask him to get fully engaged. Tell bp to sign contracts. Get the job done. Protect south la. But 30 % of fisheries from estuaries. 18:03:50 this is a battle for the whole united states. Lets win this battle and not stop JINDAL 18:04:14 two things. In terms of fed. They should be in charge of cleanup effort. Bp is a responsible party but fed should be telling them what to do. This is bp's oil but this is our coast line. We 're the ones who are going to live with the enviro damage. 18:04:45 it is time for fed gov to be in charge of this. 18:04:54 he said maybe not a lot of oil in water, big ocean, I read it was attributed to him. The fact he wants to get back to his life. I want him or his successor to come and see this and talk to fishermen who cant go out today. Talk too marina owners. This should be his busiest time of year. Who ever is in charge of b should come here themselves. Look at pelicans 18:05:40 talk to families who are hurting. Act responsibly. A week ago today the fed told me to start. We want you to do first sand dredging project. But not one dime has been giving to state not one dredge. Who ever is in charge needs to see for himself. 18:06:18 like I said whether it is him or his successor he needs to do a lot better than hes done. What confidence do I have that hed be replaced by better ceo? Tell them to come down here and stop making this kind of statements. They sound idiotic to us. Anyone who lives here, knows these coasts, these are the most 18:07:01 idiotic statements ive ever heard. But at the end of the day doent matter whos running the company. They need to see for themselves. I know he apologized for his last statement, but sorry for inconveniencing him but we are permanently changing peoples lifestyles down here. This is nnot an inconvenience for birds, louisianians who are directly impacted 18:07:46 let me say something ..we have been through katrina, gustav. Are we going to overcome this? We are absolutely going to overcome this. We are going to get thru this. It will be a marathon but we will do what it takes to repair damage. There is no option but to win this war. It will be tough and we will have to hold fed gov and bop responsiblibe 18:08:37 two things. I talked to white hosue this morning. They received a letter. I have talked to white house about it. I wrote letter bc if you look at impact.could impact up to ten thousand jobs depending how long they extend this moratorium. Some of the same families being put out of work could be threatened again by moratorium 18:09:23 same families shouldn't be made victims a second time. If it takes time for them to do well, they should take time but not one day longer than that takes. What we are hearing from companies is if they are hearing from companies and employers .the might lose their job. Companies might delay or cancel exploration projects that employ thousands of employees 18:10:18 I fully understand if it take a little time I understand. But it should not take an arbitrary amount of time. I don't want to see another spill, another drop. Obviously this was not done safely but as a country we should not have to choose between energy production and our coast. 18:11:06 there was serious concern as far as shallow exploration. So let me look at what they announce because I haven't seen that. We haven't gotten updates. But 18:11:25 on behalf of my state we are concerned of impacts on people economy. We absolutely demand safe energy production. If they need redundant bops, mms, inspections, detailed prevention plans they should do that. But whatever the fed gov needs they should do that quickly and safely . we as a country need affordable and safe energy. This is an issue Important for la but all of us 18:12:17 ill be meeting with admiral Allen today. This isn't about individuals. This is about getting job done. We have seen admiral . we got a new captain in charge or response. Admiral Allen added, so theres been changing personnel. Our bp point of contact has changed. Id make two points. This is not about individuals but holding organizations responsible. Holidng bp responsible. We aren't asking for a dime. But holding them responsible. 18:13:22 not about personalities but about making sure institutions do what they are supposed to . buck stops with the ceo. The ceo of bp its up to him to make sure move forward. The folks that have been here processing the claims -one of the things we asked coast guard to do though is to make sure the personnel coast guard didn't change. We don't want a new person in after one gets familiar with the place. Keep the personnel here for at least 60 days. During Katrina people replaced 18:14:29 in addition to coast guard personnel, there is some concern that people with open claims . they are worried about that . if they can have continuity that's better. Make sure nothing gets dropped. Its not fair that these people have to come back again because a new person is there. Make sure there is continuity. 18:15:15 they shouldn't have to start process over because there's a new case worker.

BP's chief executive Tony Hayward arriving at BBC Television Centre 3. SOUNDBITE: (English) Tony Hayward, Chief Executive of BP: "From the very beginning we have launched what is the world's largest ever environmental spill response. We are battling on three fronts: in the sub-sea to contain now using the cap; on the surface to contain the oil off shore; and along the shore to defend the shoreline. As we speak the containment cap is producing around 10-thousand barrels of oil a day to the surface, which is being processed on the surface." (Q: So what sort of proportion is that of coming out?) "At the moment it is difficult to say but we would expect it to be the majority, probably the vast majority of the oil." 4. Wide of Hayward being interviewed, UPSOUND: BBC presenter Andrew Marr: "So you think this cap will get most of the oil?" 5. SOUNDBITE: (English) Tony Hayward, Chief Executive of BP: "That is our hope. We are optimising the operation, we have a further containment system to implement in the course of this coming week, which will be in place by next weekend, so when those two are in place, we would very much hope to be containing the vast majority of the oil. 6. Wide of Hayward being interviewed, UPSOUND: BBC presenter Andrew Marr: "The reports that I have seen up to now suggest that perhaps about a quarter of the oil is being got by this capping system, but you think it's much more than that?" 7. SOUNDBITE: (English) Tony Hayward, Chief Executive of BP: "As I said 48 hours ago, it's going to take us 48 to 72 hours to optimise this. We're in that process. Over the last 24 hours we have produced 10-thousand barrels a day to surface. The plume is reduced we have to determine by how much and there is more to go. And as I said there is a second containment system to be introduced next weekend and by the end of the month there will be a more permanent containment system in place ahead of the relief wells getting there in August."

Various of workers cleaning oil 12. Wide of dead fish STORYLINE A containment cap placed over the damaged oil well in the Gulf of Mexico offered a small sign of progress on Sunday, as BP's chief executive said he was hopeful the cap would capture "the vast majority" of the leaking oil. BP PLC chief executive Tony Hayward told the BBC on Sunday that over the last 24 hours, the cap placed on the leak near the sea floor had trapped about 420-thousand gallons (1.6 (m) million litres) of oil. It's not clear how much is still escaping - an estimated 500-thousand gallons (1.9 (m) million litres) to one (m) million gallons (3.8 (m) million litres) a day. BP hope a second containment system will be in place by next weekend. Hayward also said on Sunday that he won't step down over the oil spill, and predicted his company will recover from the disaster. Speaking on BBC television's "Andrew Marr Show", he said he had the "absolute intention of seeing this through to the end." He said BP was committed to restoring the Gulf Coast to the state it was in before the spill started. Hayward also said his company had been left devastated by the disaster, and conceded that safety standards across the oil industry must dramatically improve in response. But he said BP would survive, and would come back strongly. Hayward declined to say whether it would pay a dividend to shareholders scheduled to be paid at the end of July. He said the decision would be taken by BP's board at the end of next month. The next step in the containment operation is for BP engineers to attempt to close vents on the cap that were deliberately allowing streams of oil to escape the system so water cannot get inside. When water and gas combined in an earlier containment box, it formed a frozen slush that foiled the system. The federal government's official leading the response to the crisis, Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen, said the goal is to gradually increase the amount of the oil being captured. BP plans to eventually use an additional set of hoses and pipes to increase the amount of oil being trapped, but the ultimate solution remains a relief well that should be finished by August. The urgency of that task was apparent along the Gulf Coast nearly seven weeks after the BP rig exploded, killing 11 workers. The oil has steadily spread east, washing up in greater quantities in recent days. Pelicans struggled to free themselves from oil, thick as tar, while others stretched out useless wings, feathers dripping with crude. Dead birds and dolphins are washing ashore, coated in the sludge. Government officials estimate that roughly 22 (m) million (83 (m) million litres) to 48 (m) million gallons (182 (m) million litre) have leaked into the Gulf since the April 20 explosion.

SICK SARASOTA BIRDS (04/02/1996)
Another strange malady is striking sea life along the west coast. Birds along the barrier islands of Sarasota are primarily affected. 40-cormorants and loons have been brought to the Pelican Man's Bird Sanctuary over the last five days. Dolphins and turtles are dying, as well. This latest round comes as scientists are struggling to find a reason for the deaths of 94 manatees.
