Efforts to clean up oil spills have included methods such as skimming, where specialized boats remove oil from the water's surface, and using absorbent materials that soak up the oil. Additionally, chemical dispersants are often applied to break down the oil into smaller droplets, allowing it to mix with water and biodegrade more easily. Bioremediation, which involves introducing microbes that consume the oil, is also utilized to expedite natural degradation processes.

What does biology have to do with oil spills?

Oil spills can damage natural habitats. The interactions of oil and the marine ecosystem are very important to understand. Also, the process by which sea water will transform (or weather the oil) is very important as bacteria within sea water play a role. Understanding oil spills requires an understanding of principles of physics, chemistry and biology. I have included a number of links that relate the study of biology and oil spills. In the Exxon-Valdez spill, the clean up on the shore line used "bio-remediation" - see link.
