Surely, setting up booms to contain the oil (which is still flowing, and apparently will be for another couple of months until this relief well is done) would do much to limit the expanse of the spill. This is not a completed oil spill. It is one growing by the day. Surely, containing the oil from spreading is at least something that should be attempted. You say: 'In at least one picture, there is a shrimp boat towing booms.' That is precisely my point. If that works, there should be more of it.
