There is no way that anyone can clean this up. There was a cut that opened up from the gulf into the marsh during katrina / rita that they threw a boom in front of that the oil went over or under or around . Flooding many acres of prime redfishing water and marsh w/ oil. Just my opinion , But i feel this is the reason that elmers is still closed.
Beachs can be scraped and dug out and resanded but this area of the marsh is only acessable by mud motor or air boat.

B.S. you know booms block oil there's no way oil can go around the power of the boom! those booms were a joke I saw all the booms in the pearl river during the spill with all the reporters lining the banks for a camera shot, I thought this was a joke there wasn't a drop of oil anywhere close! those booms could of been placed somewhere they were needed! not that they really worked anyway!
