From past experaice.... Like 15 years ago...until today

There has always been tar ball wash up in Cameron and Holly Beach area for years..... Dad told me they have found tar ball in the 80's in Lake Aurthur Lake on the beach....

Tar balls are not uncommon for the South West coast but I agree I needs to be looked at...

I would not raise a great concern or freak out about any oil to the west yet....No Oil has been spotted in any heavy form from Marsh Island west..... We have lots of inland and close platforms to who would start reporting any heavy oil passing thought.... I know some small spots or sheen will pass with out calls but heavy oil would get called in...

It could be....

Im sure we will be seeing tar balls for a few years to come.... Most are harmless just a pain in the butt when you step on one....

if you go did in the sand off Johnson bayou about 2ft down you will start to see lots of compacted oil or tar balls... Im sure from the hurricanes over the years and natural seepage.....it all adds up....

Hey But if you need help cleaning up in Galveston...call me....Ill be your wing man.....
