Partnering on Oil Spill Prevention, Response, and Recovery
Video recording of the webinar.
Oil Spill prevention, response, and recovery require collaboration across sectors, from local, state, federal, and tribal governments, to industry and trade associations, to universities and NGOs. No one sector alone can address the issue of spilled oil. Meg will give us a snapshot of oil spill science, prevention efforts, emerging technologies, and successful partnerships, including her work with the Pacific States/British Columbia Oil Spill Task Force.
