Gulf Oil Spill Cleanup, Pictures and Photos.  Great news! The Gulf oil spill is at least partially contained using a mile long pipe installed by BP. Of course, the BP Gulf oil spill won’t be completely contained by the pipe that was put inside the leak, but it is indeed a start.

Cleanup has been treacherous, at best and it will be months or potentially even more before the majority of the oil will be taken from the water.  In addition, hurricane season could pose significant risks to the oil spill cleanup efforts, and could even take oil as far away as Cancun or the Florida Keys.

While the biggest risk still lies with the beaches of Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana the beaches of Florida and Texas. Both the fishing and tourist industries have been particularly hard hit by the oil spill. Some of the fishermen are working on cleanup efforts, but their livelihoods have been compromised.

Many want to see the pictures of the Gulf Oil Spill Cleanup efforts as well as the damage. Well look no further. We have some of the latest photos of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico available for your review.
