MOBILE — Federal officials are scaling back wildlife
recovery and rescue operations on the Alabama
coast, but signs of the BP oil spill are still being
reported in shoreline waters.

Steve Gray, a federal wildlife official assigned to
Alabama, said they reduced recovery and rescue
work because they were no longer getting calls as
frequently as before.

But the Press-Register reported Thursday that
shoreline assessment workers on the Gulf Coast are
still finding tarballs washing ashore and bands of
oil beneath sand.

Coast Guard officials said teams are keeping a
record of where oil is located underwater and they
recommend a cleanup method.
