Gulf Future Campaign - GulfFuture.org
More Information
Gulf Future is a collaborative effort to raise awareness and increase public support for the communities along the Gulf coast affected by the BP oil drilling disaster. This campaign is the brainchild of the Gulf Coast Fund and the Gulf Restoration Network. In May, several folks from our two organizations took a tour of the devastation developing in the Gulf of Mexico and along the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Outraged and distressed by what we saw, and anticipating what the future might hold for these communities, GRN and GCF realized that nothing short of a nation-wide outcry about this catastrophe was necessary.
Thus the Gulf Future Campaign was formed. Our vision is a to mobilize supporters from across the nation to show their solidarity with the people of the Gulf Coast.

The Louisiana Bucket Brigade is a 501(c)(3) environmental health and justice organization working with communities that neighbor the state's oil refineries and chemical plants. The EPA-approved “bucket" is a simple, community friendly tool that fenceline neighbors use to take air samples. We complement the community group by adding a level of technical expertise to their work. We provide this tool and training to community members to monitor and expose industrial pollution as it happens. We assist residents in their fight to reduce pollution and protect public health. We work with community groups to help them take air samples and achieve their goals, be it relocation away from a polluting facility, reduced pollution, or a moratorium on facility expansions. The more evidence the communities gather, the more power they have to attain their goals.

A group of student organizations on LSU's campus got together to determine what role our organizations, as well as the LSU student community, can play in providing relief efforts for the recent oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. The purpose of this group is to provide accurate information regarding the series of events that led up to the leak, up to date information on the status of the leak and coastal Louisiana environment, inform students of volunteer opportunities, as well as provide a network for students to communicate and announce their efforts.

This site is a joint project between students of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Dr. Mark Pokras of Tufts University's School of Veterinary Medicine and members of the wildlife rehabilitation community. Currently the site contains baseline hematology data and basic biological information for some avian and mammalian species. As time progresses we will be adding more species as well as information about diseases, parasites, management and current issues for each individual species. We hope to shape the future expansion around the needs of the wildlife rehabilitation community, so please take the time to fill out the survey.
