Evaporated...that means air pollution?
Dispersed....out of sight, out of mind?
Collected....the smallest fraction of the spill for all those efforts where skimmed?
but the volatile thinner components of crude that was on the surface YES has evaporated

but the dispersant and oil combo
has been sunk and it's on the bottom as
an orange/ brown jello NASTY pudding that "maybe" some
form of bacteria will gobble up.... that part remains i believe
and only the use of a robotic sub will let us know for sure.
