No oil has been found in the ocean recovery area since June 3. 3 vessels will remain on the water to monitor for oil and will do so until the cleanup is finished. As on-water activity decreases, shoreside teams continue to work to ensure as much oil as possible can be recovered from the impacted beach areas.
