They work because oil floats, the booms help round up and contain oil and keep it from expanding and contaminating beaches, islands, and wetlands. The boom has a weight, the floating tube, and a tall wall-like structure to help keep the oil contained. Unfortunately, during a storm, the oil can be pushed over the sides and escape. But experts are hoping that miles of boom will actually lessen the impact of the oil on our shores.
