HESCO barriers line the west end of Dauphin Island, Alabama, May 7, 2010, where efforts to protect the island from oil threatening as a result of the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion earlier in the month were heavily underway. The National Guard spent most of the day installing nearly four miles of the felt-like boxes and filling them with sand chemically treated to transform the oil into a solid which can be safely removed.
