The Weedoo is fully customizable and one of the add-on options is this front end rake — shown above — that could be ideal for scooping up debris in the Gulf. Just lower the rake, glide through oil strewn wetlands and remove the damaged plant life. The Weedoo can carry several times its own weight and zips along the water with ease. The fact that it has no emissions is great, because at this point (with over 150 million gallons of oil already dumped) the Gulf of Mexico certainly doesn’t need any extra toxins.

With oil currently being removed from the gulf waters by Kevin Costner’s nifty invention, and a containment dome grabbing most of the oil spilling from the broken well, this Weedoo could provide cleanup crews on shore a much needed way to quickly and efficiently help de-oil the grassy wetlands that make up much of the Gulf Coast shoreline. Weedoos are made in the US by Greenboat Scientific and are constructed from fiberglass and foam making them easy to transport and quite durable. Seems like a great green addition to the massive cleanup effort already taking place.
