Gulf Recovery: Dispatches, Day #2

by Project Gulf Impact

Yesterday we spent the day indoors (thankfully) at Louisiana State University interviewing professors from schools across campus. We spoke with experts that represented a range of disciplines, from toxicology to ichthyology. Despite their diverse set of backgrounds, we heard one message loud and clear: our future is uncertain. The need for funding for rigorous research, for both today and years to come, is crucial. As we continue to fight traditional media's assertion that the oil is gone, the situation in the Gulf grows more dire.

When asked what message the scientists and professors wished to convey to the world, they unanimously answered: “the oil spill is not over.”
