just a couple comments,
the dispersants are more than cosmetic, by dispersing the oil, they break it down into smaller particles making it easier for the bacteria to consume it.
i've read a few studies recently released that show prince williams sound returned to 90% normal with 10 years after the valdez spill, ecology-wise. the local fisherman sure had it tough.
and the clean-up there was just as harsh on the environment as the spill. the studies show that just leaving the oil on the coast would of been better.
