A commercial shrimp boat armed with boom leaves from Branch Terrebonne Parish, La., to search for a reported patch of oil as the outer bands of Tropical Storm Alex darken the sky on the morning of Tuesday, June 29, 2010. Part of the Vessels of Opportunity program that employs commercial fishing vessels as part of the cleanup effort for the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, this shrimper will corral any spotted oil with the orange hard boom and then soak up the oil using absorbent boom.
