US scientist says much surface Gulf oil dispersed
"...some remains on the surface, although the amount on the surface is less and less as our very aggressive efforts to contain it have been successful."
- Jane Lubchenco, head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Oil from BP's damaged Gulf of Mexico well is clearing from the sea surface faster than expected, scientists say, 100 days after the disaster began.
Jane Lubchenco, head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said much oil had been "biodegraded by naturally occurring bacteria".
