Parish leaders and local legislators were invited to take part in a flyover and see BP’s continuing response at the source and along the coastline. The helicopter flight took participants over Barataria Bay, where no oil has been reported for more than two weeks. Another stage of the flight brought the officials over the oil well site where the water was “gorgeous” and no skimmable oil was spotted. Jean Lafitte Parish Mayor Tim Kerner says with the help of BP that the region has “fought a wonderful fight” to preserve the area’s marshes.
