I grew up on the Gulf Coast. I know these waters. And I’m doing everything I can to clean them up. - Fred Lemond, BP Cleanup Operations

Making This Right BP has taken full responsibility for the cleanup in the Gulf. And that includes keeping you informed. Beaches Claims Searching For And Cleaning Up The Oil You may have heard that oil is no longer flowing into the Gulf. Cleanup But every morning our spotter planes and helicopters continue to Economic Investment search for oil off the coast, heading to areas previously mapped with satellite imagery and infrared photography. If oil is found, they Environmental Restoration radio down to the ships and boats of all sizes that are supporting Health and Safety the cleanup effort and working to collect the oil. These are local shrimping and fishing boats organized into task forces and strike Wildlife teams, plus specialized skimmers mobilized from around the world.

We have recovered more than 35 million gallons of oil-water mixture from the Gulf. Other methods have also helped remove millions of additional gallons of oil from the water. We’ve deployed millions of feet of boom to protect beaches and sensitive wildlife areas.

Hurricane Preparedness In the event of a hurricane, our first priority is keeping people safe. In coordination with the Coast Guard and local officials, we may suspend operations temporarily but have organized to resume them as soon as possible.

Our Responsibility We have already spent more than $3.9 billion responding to the spill and on the cleanup, and none of this will be paid by taxpayers. We will work in the Gulf as long as it takes to get this done. We may not always be perfect but we will do everything we can to make this right.
