Are the scientst basing that calculation off of the satellite image of the sheen? Correct me if I'm wrong but can't the sheen make it appear that there is actually more fuel/oil in water than there actually is?
Ever pour a cup of diesel or gas in the water. It triples in size almost intantly.
I think that is why there may be some descripancy in the amount that is being spilled.
the blog estimates are based on a thickness of 1 micron for the majority of the spill, with 3% of the surface area being 100 microns, consistent with BP's estimates.

Posting from a plane, and I'm not in the business, but just talked to someone who knows someone very high up in the US govt who said we were trying to get something to cap the well, but this equipment is in Italy. Don't know if this is something you all already know, but maybe it's good news.

So 3 percent if the blog is the really thick crude and the rest is sheen and light crude?

The marshlands will be fine in a few years in worse case.
It's the impact to the businesses in the fishing and tourist industry that will be affected in human terms. The smart ones will find a way to make it to the other side but the shaky one's probably will not make it.
Then again, that's the risk and you better be prepared to take if you're going to make your living from the beach and the water. You're exposed and there's a whole lot that can't be controlled on the coast.

Here's a serious question for some of you guys that I'm sure will know more about it than me.
If there's always drama about the barrier islands come hurricane season, what's going to be their condition after the oil kills the grass that holds them together?
Aren't hurricane impacts in NO and BTR lessened because of them?
Is this a problem I'm inventing in my head or real?

Semi-Substantiated Rumor: BP is not going to be able to shut the BOP. Drilling relief well is last option(besides crazy suction sombrero). 60 days to get DD3 on locale and P&A. No good news.
