I've lived near the Everglades, which is a similar ecosystem to the Gulf shoreline. My feeling is, that the ecosystem is doomed. I hope to God I'm wrong, but the leak is enormous and growing, and unbelievably destructive in equally unbelievably cruel ways, to wildlife and ecosystems, not to mention humans. Wetlands are the most vulnerable of ecosystems and people don't give a damn unless it affects them directly. We belong to the Save the Manatee society - and the manatees that are left in the wild are identified, not by size of expression, but by the number and placement of propeller wounds on them. It's horrible. And this could be prevented if those assholes who use jetskies and motorboats without propeller guards would show the least regard for other species - instead they constantly complain that guards (probably like bike helmets) violate their rights. I'd like to cover the oil company execs etc. in oil and see how well they survive. Make them eat it. It's dead life they're digging up. Like meat.
