oil spill panel discussion


On November 4th thespillsmiths.org hosted an oil spill panel discussion at Mr. Beast Gallery in Savannah, GA. The moderator was Orlando Montoya of NPR/ Georgia Public Broadcasting and the panelists were Scott Eustis of the Louisiana wetlands restoration organization Bayou Rebirth; Lieutenant Commander Emily Sadler of the United States Coast Guard; and Bill Hodgins of the Savannah Water Resources Bureau. Thank you to the panelists who generously donated their time.

The podcast is 54 minutes and covers a lot of ground from local spill response, to events in the gulf, to how pollution enters the watershed. It was a lively discussion the contributed much to the education of our audience. To listen simply click on the title above.
