Forty percent of #BP Deepwater Horizon oil found on ocean floor - Forty percent of the oil spilled from the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe was not consumed by bacteria and did not stay on the ocean’s surface due to the use of #dispersants. The oil sank to the ocean floor and remains there today. New research conducted by David L. Valentine with the University of California at Santa Barbara and colleagues proved that as much as forty percent of the oil still remains on the ocean floor. The discovery was reported in the Oct. 27, 2014, edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
