The Disaster that Never Was

So says Professor Ian MacDonald, an eminent Florida State University oceanographer . .
"I know it sounds ridiculous, but it’s probably the largest spill there has ever been... and yet there’s hardly any oil. The ecosystem around here is also used to oil. It’s been here forever, and there are more than 4,000 oil wells in the Gulf. So there are spills and natural seepage all the time, and the fish and plants adapt to deal with them. I’m confident the area will make a full recovery."
