Researchers conducted a survey of more than 2,500 U.S. Gulf Coast residents to learn how their lives have been affected since Deepwater Horizon. Survey results show that most people who had social support were less likely to screen positive for depressive symptoms in the years following the oil spill.

March 12 Sea Grant Seminar on Herding Oil At the Ocean's Surface
The Sea Grant Oil Spill Outreach Team will host a seminar in Metairie, Louisiana that covers the history, science, and logistics of using collecting agents for an oil slick. This seminar will coincide with a Coast Guard Area Committee meeting. Speakers include Tim Nedwed (ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company), James Hanzalik (Clean Gulf Associates), David Cooper (SL Ross Environment Research Limited), Srijan Aggarwal (University of Alaska Fairbanks), and George John (The City College of New York). More information available here.
Sea Grant Releases Educational Videos on Seafood Safety and Fish Coping with Oil
The Sea Grant Oil Spill Outreach Team in collaboration with O’Chang Studios developed animated videos appropriate for public and classrooms use: “How fish cope with exposure to oil” and “Ensuring the safety of seafood after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.” Viewers can learn about seafood safety testing methods used after the oil spill and can learn how fish's bodies process oil after exposure. Videos are available here.
