Skimmers are often used in conjunction with booms. A skimmer is a device that collects and removes oil from the surface of the water. Skimmers can be towed, self-propelled, moored in river currents, or even used from shore. Many types of skimmers are available for use, depending on the kind of oil spilled and the weather conditions. Weir skimmers work like a dam. Oil flows over a wall and collects on the other side. Oleophilic (oil attracting) skimmers attract oil with belts, disks, or mop chains so you can just squeeze or scrape the oil out of them. Suction skimmers work like your household vacuum cleaner.
Re: What is the age children become responsible for their salvation/ There is scripture that could be given that would seem to say 20 is the age of accountability, but I believe it is when ever you are old enough to know right from wrong and understand the gospel.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child defines child as a human being below the age of 18 years unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier. This is ratified by 192 of 194 member countries. Biologically, a child is generally anyone between birth and puberty.
