Beach clean up crews are scrambling to clean up a giant tar mat that's washing up in Orange Beach.
Description: A giant tar mat...nearly an eighth of a mile long...is washing up west of Cotton Bayou in Orange Beach. Clean up crews rushed to the scene when they were notified and brought in heavy equipment to remove the oil. A clean up crew supervisor tells News 5 the tar mat was "submerged"...and wasn't visible until the incoming tide pushed it on shore. [Source: WKRG News (Mobile & Pensacola, Alabama)]
