So does anybody know what the environmental impact of this asphalt company's spill was? Were coral reefs dammaged / destroyed? What about clean-up?

Cozumel my Cozumel has a couple reports on this spill--basically the asphalt made to the ocean floor and there is damage and law suits are being filed.
