Scientist finds Gulf bottom still oily, dead

A top marine scientist is reporting bad news from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. University of Georgia scientist Samantha Joye says oil from the BP spill remains stuck there and isn't degrading as hoped, decimating life on parts of the sea floor. On Saturday, she showed video and slides from her December dives around the BP spill site. "There's some sort of a bottleneck we have yet to identify for why this stuff doesn't seem to be degrading," Joye told the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual conference in Washington. Her findings are in direct contrast with reports from the head of the agency in charge of the health of the Gulf who says she thought that most of the oil is gone.
