Today on the show we heard from Henry Hawkins with a recap of the first 50 days of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf Of Mexico. He explained what happened to cause the explosion, the spill, and all the attempts to stop the flow so far. With bp suffering extreme fallout from the US government, from plummeting share prices, the environmental damages rising rapidly, and fallout being felt in the tourist and fishing industries, the oil spill is expected to continue until at least August.
We also heard from Robyn with another update from her 4th year Honours Field Course in Oxbow Park. This week she spoke with Leanne and Leslie about their contributions.
