Summary:
The Sea Grant oil spill science specialists work together on multiple oil spill related research topics. Although each is based in a different state, the oil spill science outreach team works regionally throughout the Gulf of Mexico to share science at a state, regional, and national level.
GoMRI provides support to the Sea Grant programs of the Gulf of Mexico (Florida, Mississippi-Alabama, Louisiana and Texas) for an extension and outreach effort to increase the use of oil spill science by people whose livelihoods depend on a healthy Gulf. This is a new model of a private entity engaging with the four Sea Grant programs in the Gulf of Mexico to develop a regional outreach program.
