you could see the oil just about everywhere along the louisiana coastline and it showed up on beaches parts of alabama, mississippi and florida. today, a lot of that is not seen from day to day unless you see a bit of significant storm that ends up uncovering some of this oil that is still in the near shore right off the beaches under the sediment and when that happens, you get a situation like we had about a month ago when you had 25,000 pounds of this material that ended up on the beach and you had to clean it up. the problem is trying to figure out what all this means. a lot of the efforts that have been made public all really have to do with the civil court case and the fines, and that basically is how much damage did b.p. do that you could measure over a certain number of years and you try to come up with a dollar amount for that and then come up with a plan for restoring the damage that was caused. in addition to that what the scientists are right do is to figure out what are the long-term effects. we know that there are some significant effects that we have seen in animals like
