Boats are sent out to skim oil from the surface of the water. Oil floats, so a large portion of the issue is this floating oil. Secondly, oil that makes it to the beaches must be manually picked up and wiped from the object it is coating. Animal life needs to be bathed and scrubbed of this oil. Time will help the issue too.
Nature has always made oil slicks and leaked oil into rivers, streams and ocean currents. Nature can survive these smaller attacks with oil. The larger spilling, such as the Exxon Valdez and both Gulf spills take more effort then nature can produce by herself.
that's all i have for now:)
hope it helped :)

How long will it take to clean up the bp oil spill?
This cannot be known for certain. For starters, have they properly stopped the release of oil yet? No guarantees here. Secondly, how do you define 'cleaned up'? One would think that the Exxon Valdez spill was cleaned up some time ago and all the wildlife back again. But I learn that you can still find oil there even now. So is that spill cleaned up or not, in your definition?
