Oil spill's scope threatens Gulf's endangered marine life | McClatchy
Larry Crowder, a professor of marine biology at Duke University, said the dispersant, Corexit, had kept much of the oil off the beaches, making it "harder to get 'Film at 11' about the effects." Many species that are killed by the oil in the water will die and sink out of sight.
"That may be the preference of the oil companies: to keep the damage out of sight, out of mind," Crowder said.
