Dispersants have form huge clouds of oil mud that will drift suspended in mid water following the currents. What's within the water is probably much more than what floats and can be collected by the contention barriers. Those clouds are highly toxic and even if they dilute completely with the years they are poluting the ocean with an unknown effect. Eventually they'll show on shores all along the atlantic ocean, including England and Europe unless somehow they manage to recirculate within the gulf. Russians have done preliminary studies that warn about the acid rain ... and I give them some credit. -- Fernando Lopez Arbarello fer_at_ferlopez.com <mailto:fer_at_ferlopez.com> www.FerLopez.com <http://www.ferlopez.com> *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
