Gulf Oil Spill Scientific Symposium - Consortium for Ocean Leadership
More Information
The BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill is having significant ecological impacts on the Gulf of Mexico and coastal states
in the region. As the nation responds to this unprecedented spill, non-federal scientists can play a major role in the
efforts to understand and combat the impacts of this spill. The Consortium for Ocean Leadership is hosting this symposium to identify for the federal agencies the existing gaps in the scientific knowledge; opportunities
to fill those gaps; and priorities for short- and long-term research needs to understand the impact of the spill on the
Gulf ecosystems and human health. Ocean Leadership is working with NOAA and other government organizations as
partners of this event. June 2-3
