Human: What is the best way to clean up oil spills on water? Assistant: 
The best way to clean up an oil spill on water is to use a dispersant or absorbent material like booms, skimmers, or sorbent pads. These can be used to break down the oil into smaller droplets that are easier to remove from the water. Additionally, using chemical dispersants may help reduce the size of the oil slicks and make them more manageable. Lastly, it's important to monitor the spill closely so that any remaining oil can be quickly removed.
