Today a few hundred remarkable advocates will be meeting in San Francisco to discuss Oil Spills in the Bay and how to better deal with them. Check out the flyer here or this compelling CBS interview. Beaver friend Lisa Owens Viani of the San Francisco Estuary Partnership helped envision this conference long before the gulf atrocity occurred, but its certainly very timely now.
Speaking of close to home relevance, James Fallows of the Atlantic reported on this handy tool that allows you to use google maps to project the size of the spill onto an area you might be more familiar with. I thought you might be interested in this.
Of course this is the size of the leak two days ago. It’s bigger now.
