More oil spill stuff:
This link is to Audobon's site, note they list the ubiquitous hot line number:
and here is their form to fill out, which is a very good form, by the look of it...

After the Exxon disaster in Alaska, funds from taxes on gasoline have been put aside for just such circumstance as the Spill, and some other things put into place, like liability limits for the Oil Companies...and what's curious, is that management and logistics and paying out monies for things, is in the hands of the Oil Companies too....BP in the Gulf spill..... there's an outside chance they can actually make money cleaning up their own mess...actually, all our mess, insomuch we've all given the Oil Moguls worldwide the mandate to supply oil and gasoline most anyway they can, which they have gleefully done, making ungodly fortunes. But the crux of the matter now is hazmat training-- no one, it would appear, is to go near an oily bird, or barrier island, without this training. Folks in Florida have told BP and Federal Officialdom to buzz off, and will implement their own plans made previously to build berms and such. This because when they sought hazmat training they were given the run around. Not unlike, I imagine, the congress critters when questioning the moguls. hmmph.
More stuff (and the sleep debt grows!): The whole mess, I gather, has come under the aegis of Homeland Security's "Unified Command", and I suppose one should just step back and let them do their job, and accept whatever information they give to the media, as accurate and not under the Oil Moguls' spell.
hmmph..
Here's site about grass root effort to witness just what's happening as the spill moves...

One's credulity is being challenged by their credibility.
