Officials say tar balls found last week on Brevard County beaches are not from the massive BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Lori Stottler, a Cocoa Beach native, said that it isn't unusual for there to be tar balls on Cocoa Beach. Her father built the Cocoa Beach Pier."When we were kids running down the beach we would get tar stuck to our feet and our parents would have to get the tar off our feet," she said. "So this doesn't that it is an effect from what's going on the other side of the coast."Beth Morrone, a Cocoa Beach native, said that she isn't worried about the tar balls and believes they are from a recent shrimp boat that sunk.

Then again, you wouldn't want people panicking... By laying out pros and cons we risk inducing people to join the debate, and losing control of a process that only we fully understand. - Alan Greenspan
