Get educated to join the fight!

What fight? The fight to save our marine ecosystem, right here in Louisiana! Habitat for a wide spectrum of marine life is under attack. There are people that want to tear down decommissioned oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. After the BP spill, it would seem like a prudent thing to do. But this is not the case. Visit Captain Al Walker’s website on why we need to keep these oil rigs. They are essential habitat for thousands of fish and other marine life, to include dolphins and sea turtles. They are also a source for important biomedical resources that are produced by the coral that grow on these rigs. These rigs are the only place in the Gulf coral can grow in abundance. Now do you see why these platforms are so important? Visit Captain Al Walker’s website to learn more!
