there's a marina there with 65 boat slips in it. there was threeoats in the slips, and two of those were owned by the marina. they're devastated. this is killing their season. host: what are you going to be watching now in the next 24 hours or so? guest: i'll be watching weather top kill is successful. i think it's very shaky right now. i think they've had some successes with it. i mean, it's a simple premise. you shoot something into the well that's heavier and faster than the oil leaking out. you try to push it back down into the well. once you get that to occur, then they're going to put a cement plug in it and try to plug it up permanently, but it's proven to be difficult. i mean, it's a mile below the surface of the water. the pressure down there is enormous. it's enormous, and it's all about the pressure. host: the president has tried to emphasize that many beaches in the gulf are open for business. it's not like the entire area is shut down in an attempt to get tourism going there. have you gotten a sense from beaches that ar

they pointed to the absorbent boom material stacked up near the marina and guarded by the national guard. the mayor says b.p. trained a lot of local fisherman on how to deploy it but then never hired any of them to actually do the job. and now he's afraid it may be too late. >> brown: so the persistent question and growing criticism. >> brown: the persistent question and growing criticism: is the government giving b.p. too much leeway and should it take more control of the situation? this afternoon, a top b.p. official said, "it is clearly within the government's power to take over operations if it wants to." a short time ago i talked about that and more with coast guard admiral thad allen, national incident commander for the oil spill. admiral allen, thanks for joining us again. there seems to be mixed messages from the government in recent days. secretary salazar said the government would, quote, keep its boot on b.p.'s neck for results. and if necessary, we would push them out of the way. now what does that mean? what would it take to push b.p. out of the way? >> first of all, let me

the trip started out from a marina in venice and the goal was to get as close to the main oil slick as possible. the weather had other ideas. thunderstorms and lightning blocked the path. >> let's follow these guys. we'll go out to the right and hopefully the weather's going to head more southeast... i mean southwest and we're going southeast. >> reporter: despite the detour, it wasn't hard to find a large patch of thick, heavy crude floating on the surface. the hulls of the boats were heavily stained within minutes. >> the thicker oil is just how the oil moves through the environment. it's not all coming up in one spot. the plume comes up and disperses out. some of it comes up pretty quick. some of it takes a longer time and it's globing up when it gets to the surface. it starts moving... not a lot of strong currents out here. you've got wind on the surface and currents but this is kind of a meandering area as opposed to a loop. >> reporter: so what happens if it lingers here? >> it just lingers here and the bacteria will degrade it. that's what we were hoping but i think what's happe

they don't have the money to make that payment for the slip they have there at the marina. they have bills that they have to meet. and i can tell you, ladies and gentlemen, it's important, as a member of congress, that's the least i can do to come to the floor tonight and stand up on behalf of those individuals that need someone to stand up o their behalf. these are some of the guys that i met with there in panama city. as you can see, as a fishermen. i'm looking at mackerel, grouper, snapper and i see some grunt. these are the guys who are ready to go to work and people are cancelling on them saying there is oil in the water. there isn't oil in the water. i ask them to hold them in consideration. these pictures were taken last week. i'm not showing you a picture from a website. they wanted this picture to let folks know they are ready to fish, ready, set, go and clean and stay a couple of days and enjoy yourselves. seasonal community along this gulf coast area, especially along the panhandle of florida, they only have 120 days. they have the most seasonal economy in the st

we went to marinas. we went to insecticide spraying companies. we have gone to their conventions, conventions a storage facility owners and that sort of thing. we have made probably 50,000 visits since this program started in 2000. it gives them a certificate and gives them a way of notifying us if they see something of a suspicious nature. as a matter of fact, the british authorities came here in 2003 and said openly that they looked at this program and copied it. it was helpful in the crevice case, which you are familiar with, in which there was ammonium nitrate stored in a facility in the uk. i see no downside in doing a similar program. people are under no obligation, but the business owners who are approached seem to be supportive, seem to like it. they feel they are sort of in the game. we give them a certificate that says nypd. it has been helpful in a series of leads. >> i appreciate that. i think we are going to see whether we can urge other companies to adopt that. there has been some reference here to the so-called gun show loophole. t

understood that we needed for the first time a serious set of provisions dealing with protection of the marina environment. in addition to that, the united states had understood, as have other nations, that there were now resources in the deep ocean floor that were attractive copper, nickel, cobalt, and manganese, and we needed stabbe property rights for the u.s. industry to go out and mind those sites. a site is something about the size of the state of rhode island. beyond this -- since this is beyond areas of national jurisdiction, you have a problem trying to create property rights without trying to inhibit the navigational freedom or other freedoms in the world's oceans. that resulted in a decade-long effort and negotiation that was very successful on the part of the united states and other countries, leading to the 1982 convention on the law of the sea. that was extremely favorable to all of the interests that we have just talked about, with one exception at that time, which was the issue of be-sea mining. at that time, the result was not acceptable to the united states. as one who have p
