Some corral reef did not come back.

I don't know that that is true, but if it is, so what? BFD. It will have no impact on BP or anyone else.



Its very, very likely that there has been a significant loss of marine life esp. along the coast. Just off the Mobile, ALA coast are huge natural fisheries which are likely to get hit. Then there is the LA coast that's already been hit. By the time the air clears over all the lawsuits, there is not likely to be a BP any more.

Yes, it is true that the fishing industry is takign a hit.

But the reality is that even if it is a total loss, the fishing industry (seafood and sport combined) amounts to some $3-4 billion a year. If you figure five years -- and that's likely to be the biggest expense -- you can do the arithmetic. It doesn't kill BP.
