An oil rig off the coast of Louisiana exploded at 10 p.m. on Tuesday, May 20, 2010. In the nearly two weeks since, an immeasurable amount of oil has spewed into the Gulf of Mexico. There is uncertainty as to who or what will be most damaged.
We hope to catalog the damage and track the effects of this ecological disaster and the Gulf Coast's hopeful recovery from yet another tragic event.
If you have stories about the impacts of this oil disaster at the local level: fishermen who are out of work in your town, restaurants whose businesses have been hampered, tourism losses in a particular city, please send them to us at gulfrecovery@gmail.com.
