In response to an oil spill, cleanup efforts typically involve containment using booms, skimming the oil from the water's surface, and applying dispersants to break down the oil. Additionally, shoreline cleanups may include manual removal and washing affected areas. The effectiveness of these methods can vary; while booms and skimmers can mitigate surface oil, dispersants may have mixed results in terms of environmental impact, and manual cleanup can be labor-intensive and time-consuming. Overall, the success of cleanup efforts often depends on the spill's scale, the environment affected, and the response time.
