In Florida, oil tar balls have washed ashore on Pensacola Beach. The beach is part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, which advertises “the world’s whitest beaches.” Buck Lee, the executive director of Santa Rosa Island Authority, criticized BP’s efforts to prevent oil from reaching the shores of Florida.

Buck Lee: “What upsets me right now is BP says, 'well, we have skimmers. We have thirty or forty skimmers to protect the beach.' You can take your cameraman, look out there in the Gulf, try to find one. You’re not going to find it. BP lied again.”
