Oil's well that ends well
THE GULF OF MEXICO – Graduate students from Texas A&M University create a bright green surface marker using fluorescein. The non-toxic dye will simulate an oil slick for absorption and dispersant testing as well as be highly visible to the aerial spray aircraft as they fly over it at about 100 feet above the water. The students were participating in an oil dispersant exercise being held six miles off the shore of Galveston, Texas, Nov. 8, 2006.
