Is There Still Oil in the Gulf of Mexico? Independent and Government Scientists Disagree

[Nathanael]

Although BP's leaking Macando oil well has been capped for some time, the impact of this offshore drilling disaster is still being investigated. Recent findings by scientists show there is "substantial" amounts of oil on the seafloor of the Gulf of Mexico, contradicting statements made by the U.S government.

Kevin Yeager, an assistant professor of marine sciences at the University of Southern Mississippi siad that oil was found in sea floor samples taken in a 140-mile radius around the Macando well. The state of oil ranged from light and degraded to thick raw crude, Yeager said.
