One of two, one-ton masses of tarball material, that was recovered June 11, 2010, south of Perdido Pass, Florida, is seen on the deck of the liftboat Sailfish, a Vessel of Opportunity working in the largest oil spill response in U.S. history, June 11, 2010. U.S. President Barack Obama and top BP executives are set for a showdown over the Gulf of Mexico oil spill this week, as the likely damages bill piles more pressure on the oil giant’s shares.
