Following the collapse of the Key Bridge, Maryland Governor Wes Moore announced that more than 2,400 feet of boom have been deployed to contain any potential leaks of pollution. The governor personally visited the site to assess the situation and reported that he did not observe any sheen on the water.
The deployment of boom is a proactive measure to prevent any environmental damage that may result from the bridge collapse. Boom is a temporary floating barrier used to contain oil spills and other pollutants, helping to minimize their spread and impact on the surrounding environment.
