专家称：墨西哥湾的生态系统可以恢复
EXPERTS: GULF'S ECOSYSTEM CAN
RECOVER: The short-term
ecological impact of the BP spill is obvious—the pelicans covered
in oil, the balls of crude washing up on Florida beaches, and the
Dead Sea life. But even though it could take decades, experts say
that the Gulf's ecosystem could ultimately recover because of its
uniquely suited climate. Volatile compounds can evaporate, others
are broken down by the sun, some dissolve in water, and microbes
can consume what are known as "straight chain" hydrocarbons. Still,
the Prince William Sound's wildlife has not recovered 21 years
after the Exxon Valdez spilled 11 million gallons of crude. The
Gulf of Mexico will likely take longer. And by then, BP may no
longer be in business in the United States. Legislators are
examining the possibility of debarring the company, meaning
government clients could not award it new fuel supply contracts and
it would be denied new oil drilling
leases.
