Oil Spill Cleanup Chemicals May Be Deadly for Coral
- "Researchers have found that the chemicals used to clean up marine oil spills may be much more harmful to the coral than the oil itself. The findings suggest that spill-recovery crews should physically try to contain spills that occur near coral reefs, or allow the oil to degrade naturally, rather than dumping cleanup chemicals in their vicinity." - excerpt from this ScienceNOW article.
