Surfing for information about the huge oil spill I came across the community name Tarball and this news agency popped up. Penalties for community crimes could include collecting tarballs from the beach for the benefit of the community.
Perhaps the multitude of beachcombing agate hunters could add tarballs to their quarry and the tarballs could be offered for sale back to BP or oil refiners. A "folksy" way for the public to try to help might actually help efforts to clean beaches for years to come.
