What actually happens?

• When oil mixes with water or the ocean it begins to change and disperse.

• Though it is toxic, it becomes less with time.

• Some will evaporate, some with sink to the bottom of the ocean and slowly release hydrocarbons into the water.

• Ultimately when oil is dumped into the ocean it contaminates our supply of drinking water, kill fish, & poison wildlife.
