Since the shrimpers cannot shrimp due to the oil they have been put into service by the government. Some are being spotters, going out into the gulf looking for oil and others, like this one, are moving booms around. We saw hundreds of them in the Dauphin Island, Alabama area just motoring around aimlessly waiting to be of service.

Booms are stretched out across all inlets on the ICW. The ICW is open to traffic with the booms on the side to be deployed if necessary. Haven't seen any oil, just lots of booms and equipment. People in the area are still fishing and boating as usual.

Boats on standby to deploy booms if the oil closes in.
