| BP to fund oil barriers off Louisiana coast |
|
Oil company BP says it will pay for the construction of six sand barriers off the coast of the US state of Louisiana to try to protect fragile wetlands from a huge oil slick.
BP - which is battling to cap a damaged well in the Gulf of Mexico - says the project will cost about $360m (£244m). The sandbanks will join together a chain of natural offshore islands, forming a 50-mile (80km) barrier. Meanwhile, a slick is nearing the white sand beaches of north-west Florida.  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/us_and_canada/10223331.stm |
