Oil spill clean-up threatens coral reefs (http://www.sciencedaily.com/upi/index.php?feed=Science&article=UPI-1-20070731-16092700-bc-israel-coralreefs.xml)

It appears that our efforts to minimize damage to coral reefs from oil spills by using agents to disperse the oil, result in more damage than the oil itself would have done. :wideeyed:

:err: Somehow, it seems typical that in our effort to try to 'fix' environmental damage we cause, we always seem to either exacerbate the problem or create a new one.:(
