I was not aware of the BP oil spill that still remained in the Gulf of Mexico, the oil isn’t degrading as they had planned and is doing strange things to the life that lives on the sea floor. The last I had heard of this was that everything was on the uphill and that all would be well by at least by the end of 2011. I guess that the University of Georgia put a submarine down around the BP spillage site they were in a rude awakening that the soiled area that they had visited before wasn’t all cleaned up, but just about the same as when they had left it the first time. Through the article that I have provided it explains that one of the scientists Joye, proclaims that they are finding very different results unlike what some of the major conferences like in Washington are telling the world (that everything is going well and that the microbes are doing a great job of eating the oil). From what I could understand was that different Departments are saying that most of the oil is gone or even that the oil is being eaten away by the microbes “fairly fast”, when it is actually not. Joye has taken five different expeditions to this BP oil spill site and is now showing pictures of “oil chocked bottom dwelling creatures” You all should look at these, they are disgusting! There is a noticeable change between the start and the end product. When you see the sea floor Joye says, there is soot and stuff left by the attempt to burn the oil out. From research that I have found, it is a disaster still is still currently a problem that all humans should be aware of.
