The Audubon survey [of the Louisiana shore] found oil in many places.
"In some cases it was buried beneath the sand and oozed upward in response to pressure or changing temperatures," the report said. "Tarballs peppered high-tide lines on some beaches."
The report said tarry material also sits on tidal flats and sends "a steady stream of oily materials to shore."
Also capillary action will continue to circulate oil. Where oil once landed, capillary action draws the fluid down and back up again, with the tides. Tide comes in, oil comes up. Tide goes out, oil goes down. This can be easily seen by digging a hole at low tide and watching it fill as the tide comes in. Somebody should time lapse it with UVB light...
Chemical reaction is high school science lab crap. The GOM is dying. Please say a prayer for the animals left to suffer and die in and around these waters.

expect more oil to rise as the water cools and the thermocline breaks down

Yes. The GOM is dying. And, I loved poli_sci_borg and MrMisters' comments; makes it clearer to me.
