Let's Let Nature Clean the Rest of the Oil Spill

We've all heard of the oil spill, and the other many ways to clean it and saving wildlife. Though we have cleaned up a lot of oil from the spill, how do we manage to clean the ones mixed with sand and are hiding under rocks? Using bacterial technology, Professor Eugene Rosenberg and Professor Eliora Ron from Tel Aviv University have grown a naturally occuring bacteria that munches on oil at the TAU lab. It has worked on cleaning the oil spill in Haifa, Israel, so they will be using it in Florida also.
This relates to science because this is making a bacteria that eats oil naturally, which leaves nature to the job. The oil from the oil spill is putting wildlife into danger, and even the smallest amount of oil into the lungs is dangerous and may cause death. Having a prokaryotic cell to do what it does best is very related to science.
This is important because we've all seen the sad pictures of birds plunged and covered up in oil, some trying to desperately clean the oil off their wings, but the bad news is, they've already breathed it in. This causes serious issues for them, and other wildlife life out there in the ocean. Though we have cleaned most of it up, leaving a bit of it out there is still not good for us or for the rest of sea life out there. There is still a thin layer of oil sitting on top of that water, and there's a solution to getting rid of it all, a natural solution.
