You actually have cleared this up for me. Thanks!

That any energy strategy we have includes an effective plan for worst case scenarios. At the same time as ecologists we need to urge the Obama administration to move with all haste to cease harvesting any species that is in the “line of fire” of this spill, in ANY part of its range. In other words, create immediate refugia to maintain non-impacted populations so that when eventually these habitats are restored, species will have the numbers to repopulate them. I don’t know much about plugging holes in pipes, but I think we have a lot of collective understanding about plugging holes in populations.
