Blog 4: BP Oil Spill, A Year Later

My fourth blog entry is about how the BP Oil Spill, a year later is still lingered in the Deep Ocean. However, the oil that is still there does not become a big threat to sea life that is living there. Elizabeth B. Kujawinski said that. She had also said that, “Everything that has been done in the past would suggest that the concentrations that were down there were not toxic,” Government scientists predicted that more than 172 million gallons have spilled out into the gulf's waters. The methane of the oil is gone, but the dispersant is still in the waters. The oil is spread out so much that it could be virtually undetectable for months. I think that it is good that the methane of the oil is already gone from the oceans, but it is also bad that the oil is spread out so much that it could be undetectable for months.
