A quick check of what's happening in Broward and Palm Beach this morning:

There are 20 offshore skimmers off the Panhandle coast, but the marine biologist overseeing Florida's oil spill mitigation effort wants 100 more. Charlie Crist's administration says BP is moving too slowly to get them. [Palm Beach Post]
