Officials have tried a lot of ways to stop the leak underwater. They're also trying to deal with the oil that's on the surface. That's what this is for. It is the world's largest oil skimmer. This thing is three-and-a-half football fields long.
And the company that owns it says it can skim up to 2 million gallons of oil off the sea every day.
It's going through some tests right now to see how it'll deal with the conditions in the Gulf.
Now normally, it's summer, and it's time for people to head to the beach. That's certainly what the Gulf Coast is hoping for.
Tourism is a huge industry down there. But the spill is making some people hesitant about visiting, and that could have serious economic consequences for the region.
Reynolds Wolf caught up with some tourists on the Gulf Coast to find out about how they feel about this situation.
"It's kind of disappointing. It's sad to see this. Yeah, very disappointing."
"No easy solution, is it?"
"No easy solution, yeah. We're too afraid to let the kids get in the water. We don't know what's out there, what kind of problems it'll cause in the future."
