This morning when we were out on the beach I took this photo.  16 workers were walking up and down the beach picking up oil "tar balls" with their nets.  They had been working since 6:30 this morning and had collected 2 pounds of oil today.  Here is a link to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill that happened almost 3 years ago.  BP has some good videos on their site as well.
