>> It is still affecting catches in the Gulf.

I don't doubt what you say; however, the true effects vs. the dire forecasts aren't much.

Yes, a few fish have heart defects or whatever the latest claim is. But the numbers are small, and they'll recover. Of if they don't, it is no great loss. There are lots of fish in the sea.

Valdez was a different kind of thing, and everyone agrees that it was a horrendous event. Still, it HAS recovered better in 25 years than most people (including me) thought it would.

I'm not promoting oil spills here. Just that we not panic when one occurs. Few of them are the disasters they're made out to be.
