Gulf Power May Help With Oil Cleanup

May 3, 2010

Gulf Power Company is organizing employees to help with any coastal cleanup operations should an oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico reach area beaches.

“We have offered our services to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and Escambia County if they need workers,” Sandy Sims, Public Affairs manager said.

Gulf Power has almost 800 employees in the area and the company could also call on additional resources from sister companies in Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia.

“With our experience in dealing with hurricanes, we know how to organize large-scale emergency operations, how to respond quickly and how to mobilize large numbers of people to get the job done,” Sims said. “We are willing to offer any and all of that expertise to help in this situation.”

The electric utility also has floating booms available if needed to capture surface oil. The company maintains a supply of these booms at their power plants where barges are unloaded.

“If the state and counties need us to walk the beaches and help clean up, we’re willing to roll up our pant legs and go to work,” said Sims.

Byrneville Students Check Out Hurricane Hunter Planes

May 3, 2010

A group of Byrneville Elementary School students toured two hurricane hunter aircraft at the Pensacola Gulf Coast Regional Airport last week.

The Byrneville fourth and fifth graders were able to see an an Air Force C-130J and  a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Lockheed WP-3D Orion aircraft — the first time the two hurricane hunter aircraft were on public display together.

With hurricane season beginning June 1, the hurricane hunters pushed hurricane preparedness while teaching the students about the science of hurricanes and hurricane hunting. From dropsondes — those devices dropped from the planes into hurricanes for measurements — to millibars and eyewalls, the students learned about how the hurricane hunters measure up a storm.

The NOAA hunter hunter plane has an airspeed of 210 knots and has flown into 88 different hurricanes with 713 eye wall penetrations.

Obama: Oil Spill A ‘Potentially Unprecedented’ Disaster

May 2, 2010

Calling the Gulf of Mexico oil spill a “potentially unprecedented” disaster, President Barack Obama pledged a “relentless” effort by the federal government to clean up. At the same time, Obama said the cost will be the responsibility of BP.

“BP is responsible for this leak. BP will be paying the bill,” Obama said Sunday afternoon in Louisiana after touring the slick over the Gulf — which is now only about nine miles offshore.

At the same time, Obama said, the federal government is working full steam to mitigate the oil’s impact.

“From day one, we have prepared and planned for the worst,” Obama said. ”Your government will do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to stop this crisis.”

“We’re dealing with a massive and potentially unprecedented environment disaster,” the president said. “It could extend for a long time. It could jeopardize the livelihoods of  thousands of Americans who call this place home.”

Commercial And Recreational Fishing Closed From Pensacola To Louisiana

May 2, 2010

NOAA is restricting fishing for a minimum of ten days in federal waters most affected by the BP oil spill, largely between Louisiana state waters at the mouth of the Mississippi River to waters off Florida’s Pensacola Bay. The closure was effective Sunday.

Fishermen who wish to contact BP about a claim should call (800) 440-0858.

“NOAA scientists are on the ground in the area of the oil spill taking water and seafood samples in an effort to ensure the safety of the seafood and fishing activities,” said Dr. Jane Lubchenco, NOAA Administrator, who met with more than 100 fishermen in Louisiana’s Plaquemines Parish on Friday night. “I heard the concerns of the Plaquemines Parish fishermen as well other fishermen and state fishery managers about potential economic impacts of a closure. Balancing economic and health concerns, this order closes just those areas that are affected by oil. There should be no health risk in seafood currently in the marketplace.”

“We stand with America’s fisherman, their families and businesses in impacted coastal communities during this very challenging time. Fishing is vital to our economy and our quality of life and we will work tirelessly protect to it,” said Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke. NOAA is a bureau of the U.S. Department of Commerce.

The federal and state governments have strong systems in place to test and monitor seafood safety and to prohibit harvesting from affected areas and keeping oiled products out of the marketplace. NOAA Fisheries is working closely with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the States to ensure seafood safety, by assessing whether seafood is tainted or contaminated to levels that pose a risk to human health.

“There are finfish, crabs, oysters and shrimp in the Gulf of Mexico near the area of the oil spill,” said Roy Crabtree, NOAA Fisheries Southeast Regional Administrator. “The Gulf is such an important biologic and economic area in terms of seafood production and recreational fishing.”

According to NOAA, there are 3.2 million recreational fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico region who took 24 million fishing trips in 2008. Commercial fishermen in the Gulf harvested more than 1 billion pounds of finfish and shellfish in 2008.

NOAA is working with the state governors to evaluate the need to declare a fisheries disaster in order to facilitate federal aid to fishermen in these areas. NOAA fisheries representatives in the region will be meeting with fishermen this week to assist them. The states of Louisiana and Mississippi have requested NOAA to declare a federal fisheries disaster. BP will be hiring fishermen to help clean up from the spill and deploy boom in the Gulf of Mexico. Interested fishermen should call (425) 745-8017.

NOAA will continue to evaluate the need for fisheries closures based on the evolving nature of the spill and will re-open the fisheries as appropriate. NOAA will also re-evaluate the closure areas as new information that would change the dimension of these closed areas becomes available.
