Better yet, these researchers say it “might” be so. Obviously, their solution is more money to “study” their thoery. Most likely some pointy headed dolt who knows nothing of the Gulf waters and the area around it.
From my earliest days of living in this state, we have always experienced the occasional tar balls on all of the beaches in Florida. These dolts have no concept that oil leaks through to the ocean floor every day all over the world and that more oil is “vented” to the oceans in a year than the entire Deep Horizon episode.
Maybe they should go out to LA and “study” the tar pits they can walk right up to. They might learn something truly stunning considering their mindset in that there were no oil drilling rigs that brought this oil to the surface.
Your post is full of crap.

Just some greenie having a knee jerk reaction and looking for grant money. If this oil is down there it is very dilute and is being degraded naturally. It will never end up covering beaches, killing coral or fishes.
