What hid&#8217;st thou in thy treasure-caves and cells?
Thou hollow-sounding and mysterious main!
- Pale glistening pearls, and rainbow-colour&#8217;d shells,
Bright things which gleam unreck&#8217;d-of, and in vain!
- Keep, keep thy riches, melancholy sea!
We ask not such from thee

From Harlan Kirgan, Mississippi Press&#8230;
Oil droplets have been found beneath the shells of tiny post-larval blue crabs drifting into Mississippi coastal marshes from offshore waters. The finding represents one of the first examples of how oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill is moving into the Gulf of Mexico&#8217;s food chain. The larval crabs are eaten by all <span style="color:#777"> . . . &#8594; Read More: <a href="http://deepseanews.com/2010/07/oil-in-gulfs-food-web/">Oil In Gulf&#8217;s Food Web</a></span>]]></description>

Oil is bad for wildlife. Period. But we really do not understand how it is bad. What does it do? Can marine organisms respond physiologically to oil in diets? For instance, translocate the toxic components to feathers and molt it off, much like some crabs, or have other physiologically mechanisms to eject the toxin from their <span style="color:#777"> . . . &#8594; Read More: <a href="http://deepseanews.com/2010/06/why-oil-laden-prey-is-bad-for-sea-birds/">Why Oil-Laden Prey is Bad for Sea Birds</a></span>]]></description>
