| Description: |
Under natural conditions, a "marine snow" of tiny bits of dead fish and plants, fecal matter and silt drift steadily to the bottom of the Gulf. In the span of a century, that snow accumulates in a layer less than a half-inch thick. From August to February however, a layer nearly 4 inches thick was deposited. And it wasn't from marine snow. Scientists suspect it's from the BP disaster. [Source: The Palm Beach Post]
