Even though the oil spill is nowhere near Gulf County Beaches, County officials and representatives of BP are organizing a massive beach cleanup effort.  The effort focuses on removing as much debris as possible before any oil reaches the beaches to minimize cleanup efforts in the event the oil does reach the beaches.  If oil reaches the beaches all debris will be considered contaminated and have to be removed by hazardous materials specialists.
