    Response vessels recover an oil discharge using a Current Buster and fire monitors in the vicinity of the wreck site during lifting operations on Friday. The seawater from the fire monitors pushes the edge of the oil in a favorable direction to keep it pooled which makes the oil easier to recover; the technique is called “herding.” St. Simons Sound Incident response photo.
