Now, a new study led by Florida State University Professor of Oceanography Jeff Chanton finds that some 6 million to 10 million gallons are buried in the sediment on the Gulf floor, about 62 miles southeast of the Mississippi Delta.

“This is going to affect the Gulf for years to come,” Chanton said. “Fish will likely ingest contaminants because worms ingest the sediment, and fish eat the worms. It’s a conduit for contamination into the food web.”

The article, published in the latest edition of the journal Environmental Science & Technology

, details how oil caused particles in the Gulf to clump together and sink to the ocean floor.http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/01/150129151549.htm

Actually:
Chanton’s research is supported by the Florida State University-headquartered Deep-C Consortium as well as the Ecogig consortium, centered at the University of Mississippi. The work was funded by the Gulf of Mexico Research Institute created to allocate the money made available to support scientific research by BP.

Means: BP is still looking for it and this is right.

The big Players (like Bp and Tepco) should spend a Fortune (like Tepco)
to find solutions.
