While the fishermen of the Gulf Coast have an important job in chasing down the oil disaster of the Gulf Coast, when life hands you lemons, make lemonade.
Many Americans want to know what is going on, first hand. Take curious Americans and foreign tourists for 'Toxic Tours.' Use appropriate protetions for passengers one would be liable to, but, if they accept the DANGER of inhalation and oil exposure, then TAKE THEM TO WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE. Take pictures, sell post cards featuring the damage and 'the local efforts.'
JUST DO IT !!!!!!!
Take all precautions, always.
Hire people to assist with the oil efforts, make a business of it.
