The environmental impact of the British Petroleum oil drilling disaster is a blow to all of us, but it’s acutely painful for those fishermen who rely on the Gulf for their livelihoods.
At moments like this, we can support them by donating to relief efforts (Oxfam, Gulf Aid, Gulf Coast Fund and the {encode=”https://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/713/t/10580/shop/custom.jsp?donate_page_KEY=2792″ title=”Gulf Restoration Network”} are collecting donations) by volunteering (Sierra Club is hosting clean-ups) and by staying informed (the Louisiana Seafood Board is posting news). We can also support the ongoing rebuilding of the Gulf and other regional seafood industries by making sure the seafood we buy is domestic and sustainably harvested.
