Oil lands of the beaches to the west of the Mississippi.

13 May 2010. Elmer Island, Lafourche Parish, Louisiana.
It may not look much at this point, but the first sticky spots of oil surfacing on the west of the Mississippi river have been confirmed up and down the beaches of Jefferson and Lafourche parishes. Oil from the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe is evading booms laid out to stop it thanks in part to the dispersants which means the oil travels at every depth of the Gulf.
