Hound. There won't be any lasting damage at least in the very long run. There will be for some time but between the efforts of BP and natural degradation it will eventually be cleaned up. They said the same thing about the Exxon Valdez spill and within a relatively short time (a few years) there was no visual evidence of the spill. The gulf will cleanup faster because of the warm water and greater natural degradation than in cold water.

As for the animals they will likewise repopulate and under NRDA the responsible parties will pay a fine and have to do restoration. Not saying it's not a mess but I am confident it will be cleaned up. So far they have been fortunate that the weather and the dispersants have kept most of the spill off shore.

If I learn anything interesting from our work I'll post it. Say a prayer for the workers as they will be out working under adverse conditions. We are sending a boat out for 5 days to sample surface water.
