THE LAGOON IS BEING SEVERELY THREATENED BY THE OIL DISASTER IN THE GULF.
THE EXPLOSION OF THE BP DEEP WATER HORIZON PLATFORM DURING WHICH 11 OIL PLATFORM WORKERS LOST THEIR LIVES HAS LED TO THE LEAKAGE OF THOUSANDS OF GALLONS OF "LIGHT CRUDE OIL". OUR PRAYERS GO OUT TO FRIENDS AND FAMILIES OF THOSE WORKERS. THE OIL HAS FORMED INTO AN OMINOUS SURFACE SLICK OFF THE COASTS OF LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, FLORIDA, AND ALABAMA.
AS OF JUNE 2, 2010 CALLAWAY PASS HAS BEEN CLOSED WITH A SAND "DAM" TO KEEP THE OIL CONTAMINANTS OUT OF LITTLE LAGOON. A RENOURISHMENT SAND BERM HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE GULF BEACH ADJACENT TO THE WEST END OF THE LAGOON TO HELP REDUCE THE POSSIBLE INFILTRATION OF OIL IN THE EVENT OF A HEAVY STORM.
THE CITY OF GULF SHORES ADVISED AS OF JUNE 15, 2010 FISHING AND BOATING ARE STILL SAFE IN LITTLE LAGOON!
The Alabama Department of Public Health verified on June 15, 2010 that there is no swimming advisory in effect for Little Lagoon.
