I am probably in the minority here, but I don't feel the spill will have any real lasting effects. While I admit dumping thousands of gallons of chemicals into the gulf isn't a good thing, I also know the gulf is a pretty big place. It gets thousands of gallons of other chemicals dumped in it all of the time. All of that oil and all of the chemical dispersants will eventually be diluted to a unrecognizable level. It will take a little time but keep in mind the oceans leak oil naturally.
It seems like yesterday we were lamenting the probable loss of the DBT's and it is now clear they will be unaffected. The marshes are already growing green again in areas that have been cleaned. Not to say there is not a lot of work to be done, but I dont think it will take 20 years to rebound like it did in Prince William sound.
Just my opinion.
