Does anyone know the type of degreasers being used.

if chemical based and aggressive could be doing the environment so damage.

hope all being managed as environmentally aware as possible

sounds like that pipeline has more holes in it than a tetley tea bag.

either it's had no inspection and maintenance for years or somebody has dragged a pretty big anchor along it to cause this much damage.

Hopefully they will assess if the original pipeline construction was faulty or incompletely documented as claimed in another thread. The construction company whether American or other would need to be accountable. Claims made by those working need to be considered by their roles in construction.  For example were they really in a position to know or whether it was based on hearsay. I make a big difference and hearsay is often wrong. One would not say that what's written here is proof, but it could lead to the truth.

That said my heart go out to those affected and to the marine environment. 

If found faulty the name of the pipeline company should be made public.
