MBNEP and Alabama Coastal Section are working with Coastal Bird Conservation in a monitoring effort to determine pre- and post-spill impacts to beach-nesting birds, shorebirds, and their habitats across the Gulf Coast.
A peer listening training session is scheduled for July 23, 2010 in Gulf Shores, AL. This training teaches trusted community leaders how to help friends, neighbors, and co-workers who may be reluctant to seek professional mental health services due to the effects of the oil spill. If you would like to be trained, register online here.
Transcripts of three community forums about the oil spill held in Biloxi, MS and Mobile, AL in early June are now available online at http://gulfseagrant.tamu.edu/oilspill/transcripts.htm. The forums were question and answer sessions that covered several topics: wildlife and fisheries; technological disasters and mental health; business and personal finance; data and monitoring; and legal perspectives.
