美國政府顧問指出，路易斯安娜州西南部受到去年九月份莉塔颶風的影響，有超過1400個裝填有毒液體及氣體的桶子，目前正没入莎賓娜國家野保區的海岸溼地中。而在提供給魚類暨野生物管理局的報告中提到，這個事件若不進行處理，將會造成這個保護區受到數十載化學及實質上的劇烈傷害。

Government consultants report that more than 1,400 barrels of toxic liquids and gases are sinking into the coastal wetlands of the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge as a result of Hurricane Rita, which smashed southwestern Louisiana last September. A report prepared for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says, "It is likely that, without the address of these issues," the refuge "will be at significant risk of chemical and physical damages for decades."
