It does recover, if you read my link from the UK fisheries you will see.
It does take a long time but it does bounce back.
The doomsayers were predicting an underwater desert for decades but life is tougher than they thought.
Without a doubt the bad weather we have in Scotland helped break the oil down and disperse it.
My big worry is a huricane before they can cap the well which sets them back, months.
You're right to worry about hurricanes. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s Climate Prediction Center expects an active to extremely active hurricane season this year. Across the entire Atlantic Basin for the six-month season (which began on June 1), NOAA is projecting a 70% chance of the following ranges:
14 to 23 Named Storms (top winds of 39 mph or higher), including:
8 to 14 Hurricanes (top winds of 74 mph or higher), of which:
3 to 7 could be Major Hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5; winds of at least 111 mph).
I hope with all my heart that NOAA is wrong, I really do.
