preserves ring the Gulf and
may be affected by oil coming ashore.
...Archaeologists
will be needed during clean-up to protect sites from

There are literally sites everywhere along the Gulf Coast, including many shell mound sites. So many that haven't even been reported yet. Lots of very early historic ones also.
I wonder if they couldn't just cover some of them with plastic sheeting, then cover that with sand?
