The national park in Mississippi was slipped into the recent emergency military spending bill which greases the skids for Big Oil to start seismic testing of the area which is home to wilderness areas where federally protected birds and fish live along with the the Gulf of Mexico's largest concentration of bottlenose dolphins.
