The BP Oil Spill and the No Fishing Zone — An Update

May 20, 2010

45,000 miles off limits

Clarity has been achieved, via this LA Times posting.

Federal authorities on Tuesday expanded the no fishing zone associated with the BP oil spill to encompass 19% of the Gulf of Mexico. The closure now totals 45,728 square miles, extending southeast from the blowout site in the shape of a dog leg.

So at 45,000-plus miles, the no fishing zone is ONLY twice as large as Lake Michigan.

While this is obviously less than the 6.7 times I originally estimated, it doesn’t make me feel any better.
