How long does it take get oil out the sea?

It depends on the depth of the oil ' pocket; ' it will take any where from 3 months or longer. In the case of an oil spill, in most cases the oil will disperse in the water, it is nearly impossible to collect all of it. The collection method is also important, this can drastically reduce the amount of time it take to collect the oil. Most oil spill cleanups last about 2 months depending on the scale; yet the effect of the oil spill on plants and animals can last much longer 1 - 5+ years.
