Oil again reached parts of the Baldwin County shoreline in June 2010 during the Deepwater Horizon spill, according to a WKRG report.
Volunteers were planting sea oats at Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge to help protect dunes from storm surge and oil when material began coming ashore nearby. The report described a sheen and orange emulsified oil offshore, as well as oil on local beaches.
WKRG reported that Coast Guard cutters and shrimp boats were working offshore as oil approached the coast.
This is a historical summary of 2010 oil-spill reporting. It is not a current beach-condition report.
