I just heard on the radio that some "bright" biologist said that since this happened in the spring, it was not as bad as it could have been for the shellfish.....his reasoning (if you want to call it that) is that the water is still cold and the shellfish are dormant, and therefore, won't suck in the oil. "It would have been much worse if it was the middle of the summer".....Um, yeah, right.....
