This is closed season for lobster, they lay their eggs now. June is the month the snapper migrate to the reef to spawn. This could be devastating to marine life for many years. The Manatees are moving back up that way also. It could kill the only living coral reefs, destroy the diving tourism that South Florida and the Keys depend on. It’s just sickening.

Won’t most of it ride the Stream around FL in deep water?

Yup. And Pelican eggs are being covered in oil. Even if the eggs somehow hatch, the chicks will be immediately soaked in oil and die. Pelicans were just removed from the endangered species list some months ago. This could push them over the edge into extinction. And sea turtles, also.
