"The Macondo Prospect,
is an oil and gas prospect in the Gulf of Mexico which was the site of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion in April 2010 which led to a major oil spill in the region.

The name Macondo, is in reference to the fictitious town in the novel,
One Hundred Years of Solitude, by Colombian nobel-prize winning writer
Gabriel Garcia Marquez."

The marshes are dead & dying, along with the life underwater, we can't see.

Some memorial weekend holiday, eh?
