Controlled burns and skimmers are used. Dispersants allow the oil spill to break up, but does not remove the oil. The oil that has entered the marshes of Louisiana is very difficult to clean up, because the water is very shallow.
In general (not specific to the gulf coast spill), oil spill cleanup on shorelines can use biological agents, which use bacteria to break down the oil. Also, spills when it reaches a beach may be blobs of heavy oil-water emulsions and due to weathering that can be rolled up which can be put in plastic bags. Similarly, they can be tar balls picked up with shovels.
