I used to live on the beach, and people keep blaming the tar balls on ships. I know ships don't spill oil, even the changed motor oil can be used for fuel on some ships. Its part of that natural oil that seeps out of the ground in certain places. On the surface man has emptied and filled most of the tar pits, but they are still there below the ocean.

But people should know that oil gets dispersed and eaten up by microbes in time.

That's true but we are not talking about the Gulf right now. We are talking about the LA coastline....the marshes, the estuaries, the animals and wildlife that live in those places. These are very fragile ecosystems......and they are getting devastated by oil. Why do you think grown men are crying? If you care about the earth, then it is painful to watch what is happening.
