You're welcome Stephanie. Rules are meant to be flexible. Somehow the absence of wildlife is speaking for itself, sadly...

I have a couple posts that are similar showing oil on the beach from this year and they were acceptable. Granted oil is a not a living organism but the signs of wildlife also show non living organisms. I also think having spottings of what the oil looked like a year ago to now makes the mission more meaningful. It may not be a sign of wildlife but the oil itself has greatly affected wildlife. I hope the spotting is not removed.

Hi Stephanie! We understand the intention behind this post, but spottings on project Noah must feature a living organism as per animal, plant or fungus. This image is therefore not appropriate here, even in the selected mission. Thank you for your understanding.
