The problem with our boom is its effeciency. The booms have been resticted by the government to weigh no more than 35 lbs when retrieved by the shrimp boats which have been hired to put them out. MOP's shortest boom is 5" x 10' and will pick up 30x its weight in oil, so in the governments wisdom, at least for the moment, we do not qualify unless we cut them in half to meet the retrieval weight restriction (it would probably weigh 60-70 lbs once soaked in oil). There are so many wannabe chiefs that are risking destruction of the shrimp & oyster beds with this idiotic policy. I was told we will just manufacture 5' booms in the future until this changes. I saw them loading dispersants on a C130 for arial spraying over the gulf. Leave it to the bureaucrats to screw up the gulf
