GRAND ISLE, LA - JUNE 29: Oil sheen from the Deepwater Horizon spill is seen in the water off of the barrier islands on June 29, 2010 near Grand Isle, Louisiana. Tropical Storm Alex is producing high winds and rough seas, hindering the continued efforts to contain the oil spill from the Deepwater Horizon rig.
