Bid to save wildlife from Texas oil spill

Crews were working today to protect two sensitive wildlife areas after the largest Texas oil spill since 1994 shut down parts of a major port.

Texas land commissioner Jerry Patterson said plastic walls known as booms and oil-sucking skimmer boats were being used to safeguard a lake that was a crucial breeding ground and a wildlife management area that lost its protective gates when Hurricane Ike roared ashore a year and a half ago.
