The operator of a drilling operation, (BP in this case), has primary clean up responsibilities. Only a small fraction of the oil that came from the Macondo well can be recovered by skimmers and burning. The governmental agencies, primarily the EPA and NOAA, are working with BP in the recovery process.
The recovery process takes time, and environmentalists will have differing opinions whether the damage can be "reversed" but there will be some degree of ecosystem recovery. Over time, the lighter components of oil evaporate, and the remaining oil will break into small tar balls which are dispersed by wind, wave action and currents. In this way, nature helps the ecosystem recover.
