Author's Note: There is nothing new in this diary. I write this because, while many of us watch and comment on the car wreck that is BP's oil volcano, it behooves us to remember the effects of what we will all witness in the decades to come. This diary contains no links to video feeds, no fascinating images of sexy technology. We've been focused on this to the detriment of the real story: the long lasting biological effects that Gulf Coast residents will have to live with the rest of their lives. If you want to find those links, they're here. (Leave a rec there, please.) The material I choose here is largely taken from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and papers by Dr. Jeffrey Short. Any errors or misinterpretations are my fault, and corrections are welcome. Please donate a rec and help keep the BP Oilpocalypse Liveblog Mothership up. It costs nothing and if you don't do it, who will?
