Helicopter places sandbags trying to protect Barataria Bay from BP Deepwater spill oil

Barataria Bay, Louisiana, USA

Barataria Bay is a unique marine ecosystem, breeding ground for countless species of birds, mammals, crustaceans and fish. Desperate local governments along the Gulf Coast tried a variety of expensive and ineffective techniques to stanch the incoming oil from the largest marine oil spill disaster in history.

So Many Thanks to SouthWings for flight support!
