As soon as I return from the Bering Sea (I'm blogging for Nature on this oceanographic project - http://tinyurl.com/2ctghbl) project I'm taking a road trip from TX to the FL panhandle (or maybe just AL depending on timing) to document effects of the oil spill.
I am wondering if anyone on this list is willing to meet with myself and another environmental reporter to show us places that you may have access to, that you want to show the press and ultimately the public, little-known stories, or particularly wildlife impacts. I'm personally interested in stories on the greater marine ecosystem - all the stuff that nobody will ever see under the ocean. so anyone who knows how to get out there diving, or on a boat please let me know. I've heard that BP has sort of commandeered all the research vessels and prevented many from going out in the guise of trying to make sure they're "Available" in case they're needed. I would love to get out in the Gulf any way possible. It will be around the last week in July so please email me if you have any contacts, suggestions, or can meet with us personally even if it's just a stroll on the beach to talk about your own research. I'm reporting for several markets and so is my colleague.
