In this May 29, 2010 photo released by the U.S. Coast Guard, Petty Officer 2nd Class Allan Layne, left, and Petty Officer 3rd Class Henry Romeu drop a satellite-enabled data marker buoy into the Gulf of Mexico from a Coast Guard C-130. The C-130 aircrew conducted the survey flight in support of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill response. Just off Louisiana on Grand Isle, which was hit with oil from the BP Deepwater Horizon spill, the beach reopened for Memorial Day weekend but with several caveats: No swimming or fishing, and stay away from oil cleanup crews. Elsewhere, fishermen were idled during what's normally a busy season, and floating hotels are being set up to house workers who will try to mop up the crude seeping into marshes.
