From CNN iReport: http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-454191
"Significant amounts of oil is [sic] floating ashore in the Florida Keys."
"Canals of Duck Key located about half way down the Florida Keys."
"Staining on boats, piers and docks."
"There is a sheen on the water."
"The smell of oil hangs in the air."
"Dozens of clumps of oil stained grass floated by in the twenty minutes the canals were observed by this iReporter."
"Coast Guard is currently setting up booms around Hawks Cay resort to protect the beaches."
"Coast Guard personnel on Duck Key are not ready to blame this oil on the BP leak yet."

“Significant amounts of oil is floating ashore in the Florida Keysâ€
Sis you NOT proofread this? It should either be " significanr amounts of oil ARE floating ashore in the Florida Keys" OR " Signicant amount of oil is floating ashore in the Florida Keys".
I don't mean to sound nit-picky, but a lot of people will not take an article seriously when there are obvious grammatical errors like that.
