From someone you can trust

Here, David Biello of Yale Environment 360 interview Dr. Tom Shirley from Texas A&M - Corpus Christi regarding the Gulf oil spill.  I know Tom Shirley, having worked with him for a couple of summers when he was at the University of Alaska's fisheries facility in Juneau.  He's as good a biologist as you'll ever hear.  Here's what he has to say about the situation in the Gulf.
