| There's not much oil lingering on the surface of the Gulf these days -- but where did it go, and what's going to happen to the oil that remains in less obvious parts of the ecosystem? We'll talk with a researcher who studies the fate of organic pollutants, including oil, about the longterm prospects for the Gulf, and with a specialist in marshes and grasslands about the health of the shoreline. |
