Chase - AHN News Editor Pensacola, FL, United States (AHN) - Florida beaches are now the latest recipients of BP's oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. Tar balls have started hitting the state's shores. BP clean up crews are fighting the onslaught of tar, however officials are saying there aren't enough workers, scarce resources and growing frustration over the cleanup operations. Visitors to the beach can be seen wiping tar off their feet or doing their best to avoid the tar blobs. Pensacola City Council member Larry B. Johnson says his anger is “off the charts.” He also is calling the oil giant's efforts to cleanup the problem nothing more than a PR stunt. Despite officials warning people not to handle the tar balls, beachgoers are doing just that to try and remove the tar that is continually being deposited on the beaches. Much of the anger officials and area residents have is being targeted towards BP and its crews. Reports of workers not showing up, not enough, taking numerous breaks and other frustrations have local officials incensed. W.A. "Buck" Lee, executive director of the Santa Rosa Island Authority, said what he's witnessing as far as clean up efforts on Pensacola Beach leaves much to be desired. Officials want to take over the beach cleanup because they don't think the job is being taken care of. Local officials would bill BP for the work. So far, Escambia County beaches, the Gulf Islands National Seashore and Navarre beach are the areas being heavily affected. Reports also say an oil sheen was spotted a mile south of the Pensacola Beach fishing pier. Even with the winds changing, portions of the eastern Panhandle of the state are still on guard. In addition to the environmental impact and nuisance the oil is causing, many are fearful the state's tourism will be affected. Florida's beaches are the top draw of its tourism industry and the state's number-one money maker with $60 billion. The state attracts about 80 million visitors a year.
