No press release yet but it wouldn't surprise me.

I mentioned in an earlier post about my Avet's line having oil on it from oil assumably on the bottom while throwing past the second gut.

I wonder how much oil is still on the bottom ?

We have all experienced oil on the beach before. Usually notice it on my shower floor....

This oil is by far the nastiest, thickest sludge that I have ever seen, looked like part of an old tire.

Anyone know how much is still out on the bottom ?

PINS Partial OPEN for driving. All Beaches Open 8am Saturday April 5th

(Corpus Christi, Texas)- Progress continues with the oil clean-up at the national seashore. The hard work will allow park beaches to reopen for the weekend. The short stretch of beach known as North Beach, has already reopened to driving. The South Beach area is taking longer to clean since heavier oil saturation levels further north in the park were addressed first.

Workers have now cleaned over five and a half miles of beach. Park staff continues to monitor the migrating and resident bird species to watch for sickened or dead birds. Visitors that find oiled birds or animals are asked not to handle them but to instead note the location and report them to park rangers or call the Wildlife Hotline at 888-384-2000.

While crews have done their very best to remove the oil from the beach, note that there are still small amounts of oil present on sand and other debris. Anyone visiting the park should consider bringing a small bottle of baby oil and some disposable rags or paper towels to clean oil off of shoes and skin. Do not use gas or paint remover type products as they are more dangerous than the oil.

Park Superintendent Mark Spier would like to thank everyone for the patience and understanding exhibited during the past five days while the beach was closed. Spier said "Our goals throughout the entire event have been to insure visitors have a safe and healthy place to recreate and that we provide wildlife a clean environment to live in. We appreciate the outstanding effort of the many partner agencies that helped with the extensive effort to clean the Texas coast."
