I hope you will craft a lasting commitment to the Gulf states. Have you heard of plankton? Do you
know how many generations of it may have been destroyed in your spill? Do you know how many
species, even whales, are dependent upon it, and how long it will be before scientists can assess the
timeline damage done to each species? It will likely take a minimum of twenty years to study effects
of life cycle damage in larger species.
And in the Gulf, species who feed at the bottom are completely dependent upon the health and
well-being of plankton and larger species.
So be certain your monetized commitment matches the time commitment scientists will need to
keep an eye on many generations of many species.
