I have asked this several times and can’t get a good answer. why use dispersants? Doesn’t that only spread the mess in smaller sizes? Why not use a coagulant or absorbant that can be skimmed or vacuumed up? Then the oil could still be used, it wouldn’t be coating everything, and the shoreline cleanup would be collecting clumps and chunks not sand, and dead animals. Even if the coagulated mess sank it could still be gotten off the bottom.
