That's a good idea not to eat any sea food right now. But even after the spill is cleaned the fish and wildlife will still never be the same. I don't know if you know about "Bio-magnification" I learned about it last summer when I took Environmental Science it explains why fish have mercy in them. Like before I took this class I had no idea how or why fish had mercy in them and it wasn't safe to eat a lot of them if you where pregnant or what not. Ok to break it down "Mercy" gets into the water by electric companies. See electric companies use coal which contains mercy to make electricy unless they use steam or are wind power. The coal partials eventual make their way into the underground water shed and thus gets carried into bigger sections of water where the smallest things living ingest them just by breathing underwater. Bigger things eat the smaller things that already have a thousand or so of "ppm" which means parts per million. As the food chain continues on the ppm raises resulting in the bigger the thing you eat from the water the more pollution it has with in it's body from just living. I could get more in depth about it but I'm cutting it short I included a link below if anyone is interested about finding out more on the subject.

and I'm getting really worried. I live far north by Canada but still. What if they can't stop it? Could it be possible for this oil spill to kill the whole ocean!?
