123 Gulf Coast and National Organizations Offer Recovery Roadmap
August 24, 2010One Gulf, resilient Gulf, a new report released today by Oxfam America, the Gulf Coast Fund for Ecological Health and Community Renewal, the Gulf Restoration Network, and more than 100 endorsing Gulf Coast and national organizations working on the response to the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, represents the broadest effort yet to create a detailed plan to restore the region devastated by the BP oil spill. The full report can be found at www.OxfamAmerica.org/publications/one-gulf-resilient-gulf-a-plan-for-coastal-community-recovery. On the eve of the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the expected release of Sec. Ray Mabus' Gulf Coast Recovery Plan, residents and advocates who have been responding to the disaster are calling for a recovery plan that addresses the core needs of those who have lived through both disasters and ensures that the status quo of degradation, inaction, and vulnerability will no longer be accepted. Full release.
