No one quite knows how much oil spilled or how much got degraded by exposure to the sun and/or microbes that feed off the oil. No one knows where all the oil went. That much oil spilling as fast and in such prodigious amounts will definitely change the ecology of the Gulf, but no one knows what that means going up the food chain.
Some folks will claim that this shows that nature can balance and self-correct. I think that’s overly optimistic.
