...that some of my friends in Louisiana are positioning themselves to spend BP's money examining the long-term impacts of the Deepwater Horizon spill. LSU and the Louisisana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON) have signed an MOU with Wood's Hole to form a consortium "to work cooperatively to plan, secure funding for, execute and report on a program of scientific research to describe and quantify the effects of the oil spill...".
It's a beautifil marriage. Combining the skills and political clout of WHOI with the regional influence and ideal positioning of the LUMCON facilities should generate some answers about just how much damage has been done to these fragile systems. The project expects to receive "significant" support from BP.
