JULY 28, 2017--On July 26, Representatives from OR&R's Emergency Response and Assessment and Restoration Divisions presented to researchers associated with the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative on the continuum of spill response roles of the office, from emergency response through injury assessment and restoration.

Scott Lundgren and Daniel Hahn explained the Scientific Support and Damage Assessment Remediation and Restoration Programs, respectively, and drew connections to Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative research. This outreach relates to a wider effort to enhance office connections to researchers and studies under this initiative to foster connections and incorporation of scientific advances into response and restoration. The webinar was recorded and is available for wider use and awareness among research community members unable to participate on the 26th.
