The "good" news is that among other things, they're using a dispersing

Depends on where they use the dispersing agent and where it sinks. If it
sinks near the well or in similar depths, there's not much to kill. There
are deep water corals, but most corals are shallow water reef dwellers.

Not sure, but she said the coral was getting covered, so I'm guessing that
they're using it to try to protect the beaches..
Supposed to be a couple of Utube movies showing divers estimating damage, but
I'm bandwidth impaired..
