Michael The article says -
"As it remains dissolved the breakdown processes can lead to oxygen shortages in the water column and associated ecological damage. Saturday one of the Geoscience authors, University of Georgia Marine Sciences Professor Samantha Joye told the American Association for the Advancement of Science at their annual meeting that somehow the methane breakdown, which skyrocketed to 60,000 times above normal levels in the Gulf region now slowed down to just 30 times above background levels – but not because the methane bubble was running out. Joye suggests another nutrient may have become a limiting factor to the microbes." Oxygen may be the limiting factor. Bacteria require oxygen, Diatoms provide oxygen. So causing Diatoms to bloom is the right solution. regards Bhaskar On Jun 4, 12:52 am, Michael Hayes <voglerl...@gmail.com> wrote: > Here is the media report on GMEX methane breakdown which I > misquoted.http://www.bitsofscience.org/methane-breakdown-gulf-981/ > > <http://www.bitsofscience.org/methane-breakdown-gulf-981/>This seems to be a > nutrient collapse.
