Not Done Yet: Tarballs From BP Oil Spill Litter Alabama Beach [Video]

[Nathanael]

Off the front pages of the press, but major cleanup efforts on Gulf coast beaches continue:

Clean up of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is still on-going. As the news outlet, WKRG reports, crews have been welcomed back from the holiday season by a myriad of tarballs washing up on Alabama's Fort Morgan beach.

According to the Press-Register, tarballs outnumber seashells along the water's edge, and in some areas are so plentiful that they are no more than an inch apart.

It will be many years before a trip to the beach on the Gulf Coast won't involve cleaning your feet with solvents before you walk into your house.
