http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/30/louisiana-oil-spill-2010_n_558287.html The Huffington Post has updated their stream of photos coming in from the Gulf to include the latest in clean up efforts and images of the oil hitting land. For the latest photos, check Greenpeace's photostream on Flickr. The organization has had a crew of photographers, activists, scientists, and clean-up volunteers based in the Gulf for weeks. http://www.flickr.com/photos/greenpeaceusa09/ This oil spill is on track to become the worst oil spill in history, surpassing the damage done by the Exxon Valdez tanker that spilled 11 million gallons of oil into the ecologically sensitive Prince William Sound in 1989. Unlike the Exxon Valdez tragedy, in which a tanker held a finite capacity of oil, BP's rig is tapped into an underwater oil well and could pump more oil into the ocean indefinitely until the leak is plugged. Oil hitting the coastlines poses a serious threat to fishermen's livelihoods, marine habitats, beaches, wildlife and human health. added by: captainplanet71
