12th October, 2013. Wisner Beach, Port Fourchon, Louisiana.

Tar balls are said to contain flesh eating bacteria and leave sticky oil residue when handled. 3 1/2 years since the worst oil spill in history and on the eve of a potentially historic penalties which could be as high as $18 billion being levied against British Petroleum by the Federal Government, it is clear that BP's problems will not go away any time soon.
