Gulf of Mexico research expedition wrap up

Today, the Arctic Sunrise departs New Orleans for Mexico after completing a three-month research expedition to assess the scope and impacts of the BP Horizon Disaster. Most of the research to date has been funded by BP or the government, so we worked with independent scientists from over a dozen institutions to give us a second opinion.

So on the whole, some good news (corals apparently spared serious impacts), some bad news (oil has spread much farther than we realized) and some important results yet to come (impacts to plankton and whales). We will make sure the results are shared with you, and with policy makers in DC. And we will continue to work to ensure that Congress and the Obama administration to learn from this disaster and take steps to prevent it from every happening again. This is an urgent mission, because for now, our oceans remain at risk.
