Skimmers can be used to remove oil from the surface, and sorbents recover oil through absorption. It can also be burned off.

Apparently human hair is one of the best things to use to clean up oil spills. When Lebanon was bombed last month, oil spills contaminated the beautiful beaches. Lots of prisoners at the local jail cut their hair to help with the clean up operation. Strange but true.

Floating booms are used to contain it and floating suckers suck it off the surface
