I can't see how they will ever be able to say it's clean.
I believe that we will be seeing tar balls wash up on our beach's for many years to come.

I'm sure there will be tarballs washing up... But my dad tells me when he was young there would be tarballs all over the beach. Didn't seem to hurt the fishing back then.... I'm not downgrading the potential environmental impact but oil seeps from the ocean floor all the time. The same oil that was spilled in the disaster... If it was processed that would be a different story but it's a naturally occurring substance. I'm not an expert and I don't claim to be that is all just my opinion
