Taking note: Scarlett Johansson arrived with a pad in her hand as she prepared to inspect the BP oil spill off the coast of Louisiana
Scarlett Johansson and husband Ryan Reynolds arrived in Louisiana today to inspect the damage caused by an ongoing oil spill.
The couple headed off with a team of officials to survey the devastation around the state's coastline that is the result of the massive BP environmental disaster.
The Iron Man star came armed and ready with a note-pad as she prepared to board a boat.
The offshore spill began when the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded on April 20. Between 12,000 and 19,000 barrels of oil have been leaking every day.
BP is continuing its efforts to control the leak by trying to fit a containment cap over the ruptured pipe.
President Obama has just launched criminal and civil investigations into the spill and vowed 'the full extent of the law' to hold the company responsible.
It is a matter particularly close to the Hollywood stars - the couple recently bought a small farm house in Louisiana.
The two-storey building with a separate garage is fairly small, particularly by Hollywood standards, and features a rusty barn.
They fell in love with the state after Reynolds spent several months on location in New Orleans filming The Green Lantern
