Bezahlt wird der von der Toto-Lotto-Gesellschaft und der dortige Landesregierung, für die Noch-Staatsminister Helmut Rau zugegen war.
Neben dem Lottochef war noch der frühere Sozialminister Friedhelm Repnik und weitere der CDU verbundenen Gästen anwesend.

“University of Georgia oceanographer, Dr. Samantha Joye, conducted her third, month-long research cruise in the Gulf of Mexico in late November and early December. She continued her pioneering research into the long term impact of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil blowout. On this trip, she discovers a vast amount of oil on the bottom and marine life that definitely show effects of the oil’s pollution.”

Where did all the spilled oil go?

A team of scientists is trying to find out, and if you love horror stories, you can read their blog where they post their findings: http://gulfblog.uga.edu/

excerpt:
“… Sulfide chimneys at a brine seep? That’s pretty unusual …”
“… but most of the surface features were mineral crusts, which is strange. …”
“… we expected to retrieve something similar but much to our surprise, the mud recovered from the more shallow (2000 vs. 2200m) central basin was red …”
“… As we headed towards the bottom, we passed through several different interfaces with thick brine fog; …”
“… Over about 150m of depth, the salinity increases from that of normal seawater (about 35 PSU) to over 250 PSU. …”
