Being from this area and seeing the possibility of the ecosystem and a way of living that could be dying, please excuse me if I seem a little impatient. But, one small guy's solution to the areas where there is sand, vegetation and oil. Bulldoze it. When the oil spill has stopped. Bulldoze two to three feet of the waters edge that has the built-up oil into itself to form a burm so that it can be scooped-up and collected later when this is all over, to be placed on a barge headed for a landfil or somewhere appropriate. The sooner the better thats my motto. Then dredge the gulf for sand to replace the bulldoze area and replant the vegetation. Then hope and pray the ecosystem can restore itself and that livelihoods can be saved. I can't wait to read "Washed Away?". - Think Bigger Fri, 04 Jun 2010 13:18:26 +0100
