Deepwater Horizon Response

A contact at The Mother Nature Network sent me to what appears to be a great website for information about the spill in the Gulf: http://www.deepwaterhorizonresponse.com

The next link defines the treatment of the media by the Deepwater Horizon Unified Command. In a nutshell, it says that "the medial is our means of telling the story" and should be treated with courtesy and respect. Good to hear! I hope all the organizations involved with the spill will be just as respectful. :-)

Now, I'm still learning about who is responsible for what and who has what authority where, so there may be different rules for different areas. But, this is a pretty good start!
