| 36. | Seven aircraft sprayed dispersant chemicals on a slick about 6 kilometers ( 3 1 / 2 miles ) long during daylight.
|
| 37. | A total of 40 drums of dispersant foam supplied by BP was also deployed to the scene to minimise the pollution.

| 38. | An aerial dispersant application also missed its target, hitting the tanker itself, a Coast Guard vessel and its crew.
|
| 39. | This is cause for great concern that the oysters are being killed by the toxins in the dispersant, as well.
