'Gulf Coast Treasure' - a conversation with marine biologist Riki Ott and independent journlist Dahr Jamail.
Commercial and sport fishing, recreational beauty, essential ecological value - the Gulf of Mexico coastal region is a natural wonder which any sane society would preserve unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations. However, the intoxicating accumulation of profits associated with all levels of resource extraction has led to degraded and diminished environmental expectations. Can citizens across this country mobilize to restore and defend a way of life in the region that benefits us all?
Includes discussion of current efforts to ban toxic dispersants, e.g. PETITION TO AMEND THE NATIONAL CONTINGENCY PLAN (NCP) PRODUCT SCHEDULE AND
TO USE EMERGENCY POWER TO DELIST PRODUCTS OF CONCERN

and, the effort to form Independent Regional Citizens' Advisory Councils / regional oversight councils.
