Methane Levels In The Gulf Return To Near Normal Levels

Only a month ago the disatorous BP oil spill in the gulf released tons of methane gas. Now, the gas levels in the ocean have returned to near normal levels. Surprising scientists at the rate they have returned to normal, the scientists immediately investigated what attributed to this sudden drop. The answer, bacteria that respirated the methane gas out of the ocean. Without these bacteria sealife would continue dying in high numbers. It just goes to show how the world has organisms that can adapt to any situation.
