Most of the oil won't make it onshore, but it might be possible to stop some of the onshore oil by coating inlets that have onshore oil with hay  |
Hay isn't a solution for the miles and miles of oil out in the gulf but it could help along the marsh shore line.
If hay was placed along the shoreline where the marsh is at it would be a lot easier to remove the hay then it is to fucking hand wipe each blade of grass with a paper towel....

On the beach (which LA doesn't have much of) it is a lot easier to clean up oil vs the marsh and doing it from along side a boat. IF they placed hay there they could just scoop it up.
