A number of advance response mechanisms are available for control oil spills and minimizing their impacts on human health and the environment. The key to effectively combating spills is careful selection and proper use of the equipment and materiaLs best suited to the type of oil and the conditions at the spill site. Most spill response equipment is greatly affected by such factors and that is why we are adding the Spill Fab Fence to the group of tools to be used along with the other spill tools of today’s market

I am sorry and embarrassed that I haven't gotten back to you sooner, with things around here the priorities were changing as Operations needs did.
Last week, we received word that we are no longer supposed to pursue any type of barrier boom tactics -
However, we are still planning to have some biorestoration test sites in the marshes so I have forwarded your product to the folks there to take a look at. It may help them with isolating areas
and marking them if they have that need. Again, I apologize for the lateness of this note.
Regards,
Ed

Thank you so much for getting back to me with the information. I am going to forward your information to some folks in Wildlife Operations. I think it may have some applicability for cleaning
manitees, should they get oiled. Since they are so large, we may not want to transport them to a facility, so may need to do it in an enclosed area that is easy to deploy in the water. I will
keep you posted. I will also look for your information in the database. Best Regards.
