The news seems to worsen by the day on the Alabama coast, as damage from the BP oil spill hits closer and closer to home.

A low-oxygen dead zone is choking life on the sea floor in places off the Alabama shoreline, according to a report yesterday in the Mobile Press-Register. Also, submerged oil on the seafloor has been documented in state waters.

On top of that, a public official says a 15-mile-long oil slick is expected to hit the beaches of Baldwin County today.
