It is simple yes. But... How big is the ocean? Huge as ****!!! How much hay, fuel to move the hay and man/equipment hours used.. A **** load. I dont know of anywhere that has 1000 square miles of hay.. This spill is likely to move all the way to Europe... GL using hay..
Its better than nothing man. And yes, honestly money is NOT an issue here. If this does not get corrected, money will not be an issue anyways because ecosystems will die, and honestly us humans will suffer dearly.
Hell that part of the ocean is finished. The beaches all around are lined with dead animals, seals, fish, birds. Its done, it will never recover.
One more reason my view of humans is that we are a parasitic race that should NEVER leave this planet.
