this a whale that is giving people in the gulf some hope. you ve got a hand in what many believe may be the next big thing which is the gunder boom. talk to me about it. what it can do that the booms currently in the water cannot do. well, in ocean springs, our board and i didn t have a lot of faith in the small booms you see all over the gulf coast. they re little more than a speed bump. we contracted with the anchor qea, a nationwide firm specializing in spill containment, and they came one this device that had been used in the valdez incident. it has a large boom about three to four feet above the water surface it is and designed to go on a particular footprint, taking into mind the soil sediment and the current. and the skirt of the boom is not just a measly 18 inches but would range from two feet down to 24 feet, following the contour of the sea bottom. that s the real problem here.
