.....job!
I will be the consultant for this area of the Gulf Coast representing the Gulf Restoration Network. http://www.healthygulf.org/
This is a part time gig that will run from September thru December right now but has potential for more. I will only work 10-15 hours a week.
My job will be working with the Ocean Conservancy and some other groups to organize public education events to get members of the general public (primarily members of conservation organizations) up to speed on fisheries management and red snapper issues specifically. "Every Fish Counts" is the slogan for this endeavor.
and.....
LNG: Stop the Shell Game:
Shell currently has their permit to operate their Gulf Landing terminal with an open-rack vaporizer (an open-loop system) rather than a closed looped system.
Shell's terminal alone would use 136 million gallons of Gulf water a day to vaporize the imported natural gas. The drastic temperature change, chlorination, and physical damage caused by the process would destroy fish eggs and larvae by the billions. The cumulative impacts of these facilities would be a significant blow to our fisheries. Shell's terminal could destroy the equivalent of 5% of Louisiana's annual redfish catch.
Were seeking to convince them to switch Gulf Landing to a closed-loop system. The main players in this issue are the Gumbo Alliance for Safe LNG (GRN, Louisiana Charter Boat Association, Sierra Club, Louisiana Shrimp Association and RodNReel.com), CCA and some others.
