oil boom
A floating device used to contain oil on a body of water. Once the boom has been inflated, it is towed downwind of the oil slick and formed into a U-shape; under the influence of wind, the oil becomes trapped within the boom. Skimming equipment travels into the boom enclosure and the oil is pumped into containers. (Source: EPAGLO / GILP)

4 lay on the shelf

( lay (или put) on the shelf)

1) (smb.) отстранять от дел, списывать со счёта кого-л.

... my ship is at present my wife, and the only wife I intend to have until I am laid on the shelf. (F. Marryat, ‘Peter Simple’, ch. III) —....корабль - вот моя жена, и другой жены у меня не будет, пока меня не отправят на слом.

Of course, I can quit, and have enough to live on, but I don't feel like being laid on the shelf, son. (U. Sinclair, ‘Oil!’, ch. 12) — Без сомнения, я могу покончить теперь же со всеми этими делами. У меня останется достаточно на жизнь. Но мне совсем не нравится, сынок, что другие, отстранив меня, будут заправлять моими делами.

Here's a widow who has been lonely for several years. She's too young to be put on the shelf. (E. S. Gardner, ‘The Case of the Amorous Aunt’, ch. 3) — Эта вдова жила одна несколько лет. Но она еще очень молода, ее рано списывать со счета.

2) (smth.) выбрасывать что-л. (за ненадобностью); ≈ класть под сукно

He arrived at a Peace Conference which had laid all his Fourteen Points on the Shelf. (U. Sinclair, ‘World's End’, ch. 31) — Президент Вильсон вернулся в Париж... А Мирная конференция успела тем временем положить под сукно все его четырнадцать пунктов.

...naturalists have been so active in their darwintzing that the pre-Darwinian stuff is once for all laid by on the shelf. (R. Marett, ‘Anthropology’, Kenk) —...естествоиспытатели так преуспели в дарвинизации науки, что додарвиновские догмы приходится раз и навсегда выбросить за ненадобностью.
