I'm not doubting that. I'm sure it affects marine life no matter the depth and I recently read an article about how the oil spill will be harmful to deep sea (no sunlight deep) marine life. My post was just a response to xoxoxoBruce's post, where many of the statistics pointed out the oil to water ratio is actually EXTREMELY small. Most of the oil floats to the surface, our main vantage point, so it seems much worst in that respect. And I'm sure even an extremely small ratio of oil to water is harmful to most marine life.
