on the environment and public health.
The ultimate goal of the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI) was to improve society’s ability to understand, respond to, and mitigate the impacts of petroleum pollution and related stressors of the marine and coastal ecosystems, with an emphasis on conditions found in the Gulf of Mexico. The impact of the 10-year GoMRI effort is far reaching and has enhanced the capability and capacity to respond to any future incidents.
Central to the GoMRI Legacy are: Data collection, archiving and analysis, Education, Community and capacity building, and Scientific understanding.
