Link: Upstream Online The World Wildlife Fund says a wide range of marine wildlife - including dolphins, sea birds and two species of turtle - is under threat from the 2,500-square-mile oil slick caused by the Aug. 28 Montara drilling rig blowout, which continues to leak oil into the Timor Sea off Australia's remote northwestern coast. The amount of oil spilled so far is a tiny fraction of what was spilled in Prince William Sound by the Exxon Valdez, but "we know that oil can be a slow and silent killer. Impacts from the Exxon Valdez disaster are still being seen 20 years later, so we can expect this environmental disaster will continue to unfold for years to come," says the WWF. Another attempt to cap the well blowout will be made this weekend.
