Which is why so many people down here have been continually irate since the spill.
Marine biologists and others quickly came to realize that sinking the oil with Corexit would keep most of the toxins
on the bed and below water of the Gulf, destroying the micro-orgainisms that are needed for the food chain.

All those tar sands chunks sink in water immediately, btw, and are caustic as well as toxic.
There is going to be hell to pay.
