Biologist and toxicologist Chris Pincetich describes the scene from the Gulf from burning turtles to chemical dispersants creating a toxic ocean in prime sea turtle habitat. This interview tells the truth about the oil spill’s harm to sea turtles, the ocean and people that you won’t hear elsewhere. The radio program Flashpoints aired this program on July 13 at 5:15 pm on KPFA 94.1 in Berkeley. It airs on 75 Pacific stations around the U. S. The BP oil story followed a short piece on the political situation in Chiapas, Mexico.
