FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 3, 2011
A minimal amount of tar balls has washed up and are scattered along St. George Island in various locations. The U.S. Coast Guard is on scene and cleanup crews are cleaning the beaches. Beaches are not closed and you do not see tar balls floating in the water like we have seen in other places. The Coast Guard has taken samples. We will have the results in a couple of weeks, but from all indications this is not going to be Deep Water Horizon Oil, we can confirm this when the test comes back. Our oyster bars are not closed due to oil, and our sea food is safe. Please come enjoy our beautiful Beaches and delicious seafood food.
