All the news is such BS, if you were down here and knew people right in the middle of what is going on you would realize it.
I saw photos just yesterday of huge swirls of oil in the bay. It is far from gone, and will be lingering on here for years and years to come.
It literally sickens my stomach to read the news. What is going on down here is totally different, but everyone here following the news feels the same way. They're getting ready to move on, and so many lives are ruined.
edit: I don't even want to read the idiot comments in this thread. Nobody cares, except the people who lost their livelihood and those down here.

I don't know how they will be able to clean the grass on the marshes except to burn it back.
As for the oil in the ocean itself...I guess you'd have to put on a dive suit, have a degree in science and all the scientific gear neccessary to measure such things and go in for a first hand look to be able to say with any reasonable authority that the oil is still out there.
Just out of curiousity...how do you explain that other big spill from 1979 not taking "decades" to be gone. And how about the biggest one ever in the known history of man from 1992 Gulf War. It dwarfed this one. And yet...everything is fine there.
Not arguing with you by the way. Just asking what your take on that is.
And before you say they are lying about those other oil leaks being "fixed"...I've been down to Mexico many times on vacation right on the ocean and it's beautiful there. And when I went diving...it was magnificent and teaming with fish.
