The horseshoes are so prehistoric looking... Sad that the oil spill ruined the habitat of so many unique and interesting creatures... So sad...

Oh yes I saw a few dead crabs, I have not seen any Jelly fish since the oil spill. I put all my Gulf siteings into the mission by joining and then click edit to add the mission.

No but I need to! This was just about a month after the spill.
