Scientists, fishermen and seafood processors have told Al Jazeera they are finding eyeless shrimp, underdeveloped blue crabs lacking claws, and mutilated fish with oozing sores on their backs in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. They believe the deformations are caused by chemicals released during BP's infamous 2010 oil spill.

Al Jazeera's litany of quotations from fishermen read like extracts from a zombie film:

Darla Rooks, a lifelong fisherperson from Port Sulfur, Louisiana, told Al Jazeera she is finding crabs "with holes in their shells, shells with all the points burned off so all the spikes on their shells and claws are gone, misshapen shells, and crabs that are dying from within … they are still alive, but you open them up and they smell like they've been dead for a week"...

Scary stuff.
