As the extent of the oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico from the Macondo well became evident, the Vessel of Opportunity program came to life. Thousands of local fisherman and their deckhands attended training classes along the Gulf Coast to prepare them to conduct oil clean-up on the water. Deploying boom and doning Tyvek suits, with various adapted tools ranging from pool skimmers to onion sacks, they took to the water in hopes of preserving the waters they love so much, as well as their way of life.
In the pages that follow you will see pictures of these boats in action, as well as oil that made landing onthe Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Biographie de Gina Sanders

Gina Sanders is a life-long marine, outdoor, and equine enthusiast. A firm believer that heaven is closer in a house on the water, Gina prefers to spend as much time as possible celebrating the joys of the Gulf of Mexico and what it has to offer. She was an active participant in the oil spill clean-up, volunteering whenever possible and patroling beaches for signs of oil. Gina is also the owner of two horses and it is not unusual to find her at the barn with hay in her hair.
She began taking English riding lessons at the age of 8 and has immersed herself in horses and riding ever since, having spent many years riding hunter/jumpers with various trainers around the country. Currently she calls the Mississippi Gulf Coast home, and splits her time between the beach, the barn, and hiking with her canine family members.
