Photo was taken July 25, 2010 “close to the entrance of the Gulf Islands National Seashore/Fort Pickens entrance,” according to Dr. Huettel. Thanks for your interest. – bs

I really want to know when this photo by Makus Huettel was taken of oil buried in the sand, on Pensacola Beach. I also want to know on what walk-out or part of the beach this photo was taken. Could you please get back w/me

Guess what he earth creaed the oil man may have unplugged an oil well but there are natural microbes in ocean water the feed on natural petrolium when there is excess oil those microbes reproduce to consume the natural petrolium . The beaches of southern Ca. and anywhere else there is oil have natural seepage out of rocks and out of the ground in and out of the water these microbes feed on the petrolium oraganisams this seepage is pretty massive on the scale of the area but it is natural and has been happening for millions of years do some research on this. The spill it self was tragic but after cleaning it up the earth will heal itself the only danger is the synthetic additive they put in the water to retain it . I DO NOT work for an oil company I am surfer who’s life evolves around the ocean dayly, I have to be in it so I do my home work.

I knew this would eventually happen. You can’t just cover polluted sand with clean sand…it doesn’t work out that way; the problem is still there. Stupid BP. -_-

do you really think they care? its about money, profit, and keeping the public from seeing what has happened. people dont want to know, they want to believe everything is ok. BP’s done a great job at keeping people from believing its a big deal. Time to wake up…

Corexit is much more toxic than the oil. Extremely hazardous to humans. As a matter of fact, most of the people that worked on the Valdez Spill in Alaska that used Corexit have passed. That’s why it’s banned in most countries.

We still need to fully clean up this oil spill mess! I think that Corexit is probally toxic too! BP should be so ashamed of themselves on thieir half assed clean up effort! Poor sea life creatures, oil reefs, microorganisms, etc… all is permanately effected. So devastating still. The tar balls are coming up from the ocean to the sand still.
