On April 20th, 2010, 40 miles southeast of the Louisiana coast, an explosion triggered the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history. Up until now we have watched helplessly as the Gulf Coast waters we’ve grown to love have become tainted with oil. But now there’s something boat owners can do to help.
BP has initiated the Vessels of Opportunity program, which pays vessel owners, captains and deck crews anywhere from $1,200 – $3,000 per day to assist in the BP clean-up effort.
