Infant dolphin deaths spiking in Gulf after oil spill

GULFPORT — Baby dolphins, some barely three feet in length, are washing up along the Mississippi and Alabama coastlines at 10 times the normal rate of stillborn and infant deaths, researchers are finding.

The Sun Herald has learned that 17 young dolphins, either aborted before they reached maturity or dead soon after birth, have been collected along the shorelines. [...]

And also ... the official reports regarding the quantity of oil still impacting the environment? Total bullshit.
