Fisherman are used to being paid for their catch by weight. Could they be trained to recover oil without getting sick and bring it to BP funded weighing stations? If an appropriate price could be set for the oil, fishermen could be working through the crisis while being a part of the solution. If doable, it would be better for BP than just paying damages while people sit idle and watch their livelyhood destroyed, and better for the fishermen than the helplessness of watching the oil roll in.
