Marines and civilians use a boom to contain a simulated oil spill aboard the air station Nov. 4. The boom is towed behind the boats and acts as a large net, trapping the oil to be collected by a skimmer boat. The Marines and civilians are with the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort fuels sections and the Natural Resources Environmental Affairs Office. - Marines and civilians use a boom to contain a simulated oil spill aboard the air station Nov. 4.
