New Orleans – Four years after the BP Deepwater Horizon oil DISASTER, endangered Kemp’s ridley sea turtle recovery has FLATLINED. Nesting dropped by 30 PERCENT in 2010 and has not bounced back, according to nesting numbers in Mexico and Texas. https://seaturtles.org/newssection/endangered-gulf-sea-turtles-trouble-four-years-bp-oil-spill/ “On the four year anniversary of the BP disaster little has been done to protect the world’s most endangered sea turtle – the Kemp’s ridley – from slipping into extinction,” said Carole Allen, the Gulf of Mexico director for Turtle Island Restoration Network in Houston. “In fact, all federal funding is being cut to zero for Kemp’s ridleys protection after decades of work on Mexico’s beaches and in Texas right when they are most in need.”
