BridgeTheGulfProject.org launched this summer and it was rewarding to see how it became a useful tool for fishing communities impacted by the BP oil disaster. We produced a series of videos about community leaders and documented the efforts of independent fishermen who have been finding oil and dispersant in their fishing grounds. See Ada McMahon’s video which was featured on the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) blog and the Huffington Post. In October Bridge the Gulf will be collaborating with NRDC on a StoryCorps radio project that will collect dozens of interviews with people impacted by the oil disaster. We’ll also move forward with plans to provide Flip Video workshops for community-based organizations — building on a pilot workshop held in July with youth from the United Houma Nation. The photo above of oil on the sand in Ocean Springs, Mississippi was contributed to the Bridge the Gulf Facebook page with the caption “my daily walk at the beach.”
