Best Answer

One method is being used with success where there are enough people and material to sop up the oil in special mats and booms made of natural fibers, like hair.

You can help with this type of clean up, too. See the link in the related links section below for information about donations of natural fibers and hair to use in clean up. The web address will take you to the volunteer organization that is coordinating the donations of hair, wool, feathers, and nylons (hosiery), etc. to be used to help make barrier booms and to use in the clean up of beaches, birds, and animals that get oil soaked. The non-profit group will take money for buying the special netting they use in the construction of the booms, or your donations of that netting, too. You can have a "Boom B Q". A boom making party with a Bar B Q.

The site explains and shows how the fiber mats and booms work. It includes a link to a YouTube video on how to make the booms, too.

Think of the game pacman. The microbes are pacman and they eat the oil! Once all their food source is gone, they die off.
