WORRIED PROF: The beaches may be OK after February’s oil spill off Huntington Beach, but what about the marine life? . . . Dennis Kelly, a marine biologist at Orange Coast College, says nothing is known about long-term effects, but his application for a $235,000 research grant has been politely rejected by British Petroleum, operator of the tanker that went aground. . . . A shame, says Kelly, who believes that Orange County’s marine ecosystem “is living on borrowed time.”
