BAYOU LA BATRE, Ala.- Justin Tillman, a contracted clean-up worker from Irvington, Ala., waits for clean-up workers in an air-boat on Coffee Island during a beach assessment patrol in support of the Deepwater Horizon Response, Sept. 10, 2010. Volunteer workers sweep Alabama beaches and sensitive wetland areas daily in a search for hazards and potential signs of oil. Response air-boats in Alabama used in support of the Deepwater Horizon Response are required to have either a Coast Guard or Alabama Department of Environmental Management member on board to operate within the best management practices to limit impact on the environment. The Coast Guard continues to work with local, state and federal agencies in the cleanup and restoration of the Deepwater Horizon Response. U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 2nd Class Annie R.
