Abstract: Abstract With a final cap in place and the well killed, and with no new oil released into the Gulf, cleanup crews could begin to get ahead of the environmental calamity. Those crews cleaned up beaches, placed, and replaced booms offshore. They had also rinsed grasslands when intervention was more effective, and would induce less damage, than allowing nature to regenerate the marshes. Finally, they could see much more rapid progress.
