Sea Shepherd has announced its plans to assist with the oil spill cleanup and wildlife rescue in the Gulf Coast.
According to the organziation’s website, Sea Shepherd is working to secure a boat in Europe to bring to the Gulf area. The HAZMAT trained crew will assist in rescue operations on both land and sea, working with BP officials, local fisherman and other government officials.
Captain Paul Watson is calling on other organizations with both manpower and supplies to join their efforts.
“Sea Shepherd and other organizations have ships,” said Watson. “These groups, as well as governments and corporations, have resources. We need to mobilize these resources now. This is going to be a long, dirty, and fatiguing process, but we must act, and we must act now.”
Sea Shepherd is looking for volunteers to assist, as well as donations of detergents, towels, fuel and other supplies.
Sea Shepherd has a history in assisting with oil cleanup and marine rescue, including the Exxon Valdez spill in 1989.
