On December 5th, 2011, The Sierra Club, Louisiana Environmental Action Network, the Steps Coalition and Mississippi Coalition for Vietnamese-American Fisher Folk and Families sponsored an educational forum to discuss the BP Oil Disaster and its impacts to our environment and communities, and how Gulf Coast researchers are addressing these concerns.
Science of the Spill highlighted three Gulf Coast-based researchers, Dr. Scott Milroy, Wilma Subra and Dr. Ed Cake, who are tracking impacts of the BP oil disaster on blue water, fisheries, coastal wetlands and public health. The forum provided citizens the opportunity to ask the scientists questions related to their research and the ongoing impacts related to the oil disaster.
