This is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. The effects on the marine environment will feel the effects of this disaster for years to come. It takes 100’s of years to grow a reef system and it is horrific to thing these natural wonders could be destroyed in no time at all. I heard the president say all would be compensated for this disaster. I don’t suppose he has participated any snorkeling let alone diving. For those of us who have had the experience of seeing these wonders first hand nothing compares.There for this statement of compensation is false and misleading.


From Greg: Never mind the clean up efforts for a bit, let’s consider how to STOP the spill. It’s pumping somewhere between 25,000 and 80,000 barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico every day! BP has come up with some interesting ideas in attempt to stop the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, so far, none have worked. The spill is 5000 feet below the surface of the ocean! Can golf balls and tire shreds really stop it? What’s your idea?






Also, could it affect the Flower Gardens...?
"Currently, the oil slick from the Deepwater Horizon disaster is being propelled towards the southern US coastline by ocean and wind currents. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is projecting that the oil slick will continue movement east and west with little movement projected south towards the Flower Garden Banks coral reef. However, the leaking oil is not expected to be capped for at least several more weeks, leaving the oil spill that is currently the size of Delaware to continue to grow."
