Tragically, oil spills happen… 2

DWH Trustee Council Membership 3 Federal Trustees: U.S. DOC – NOAA U.S. DOI – FWS, NPS, BLM, BIA U.S. DOD -Navy State Trustees: Alabama Florida Louisiana Mississippi Texas Trustee Council: ◦ Goal: Work cooperatively to determine the magnitude and extent of injury to natural resources in the GOM from the DWH spill and fully restore those injured resources

Current Assessment Activities for DWH 4 Technical Working Groups (TWGs) State and Federal natural resource trustees and BP implementing pre-/post-impact field studies for multiple resources: Includes water, sediment, tissue sampling and observations from planes, ships and shore Includes potential impacts from the response

NRDA Assessment Activities 5

Sampling Snapshot: 6 Over 89 offshore research cruises ~27,000 NRDA environmental samples: 13,019 water 4,199 sediment, and 5,815 tissue samples. ~4,200 linear miles of shoreline surveyed Wildlife: Live oiled wildlife captured: >2,079 birds and 456 sea turtles. Dead visibly oiled wildlife collected: 2,263 birds, 18 sea turtles; 5 marine mammals. Several hundred transmitters on wide-ranging species Deepwater communities impacts

Collecting & surveying impacts to varieties of fish/mammals and seafood safety sampling Performing sub-surface testing to determine presence of oil and monitor water quality Vessels 7 THOMAS JEFFERSONGORDON GUNTER PISCESDELAWARE II Numerous Partnerships
