As BP’s Gulf of Mexico oil disaster continues creating its legacy, marine wildlife has begun
exhibiting unusual and extreme behavior, searching for oxygen in shallow coastal waters
or heading to inland marshes for final resting grounds.
Dolphins, sharks, crabs, rays and a variety of saltwater marine life have begun crowding
Alabama and Florida's coastal shorelines, according to an Associated Press report. Their
unusual behavior, researchers believe, is the result of normal habitats becoming so tainted
with high levels of oil that oxygen levels become depleted.
