MARSHALL, MI -- The oil spill that dumped up to a million gallons of crude into the Kalamazoo River is expected to cause long-term damage to at least a 30-mile stretch of once pristine marshes along the river, destroying habitat for resident geese, ducks, frogs, herons, muskrats and swans for possibly years to come. Federal and state officials whose usual job is measuring the health of wildlife are instead taking part in a sad wildlife safari along the river, rescuing as many animals as they can find. At least a dozen boats are involved in the effort, with some of the crew going on foot. |
