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.

Get people motivated to save the Gulf and earn money. Get all OSHA trainers down there so people understand the risks, then ALL HANDS ON DECK!
How about this? On land we have oil-water separators that can handle thousands of gallons a minute. We should be putting hundreds or thousands of these in the Gulf on ships. They might not work as well with the emulsifiers in the water and salt water might affect them, but I'll bet they could make a difference.
