Vegetarian Star

Project Runway season 5 winner Leanne Marshall has designed a fashionable, edible treat that will benefit the cleanup efforts directed at the Gulf Coast oil spill.

For each month during the summer, H5O Bistro & Bar in Portland, Oregon has teamed up with local celebrities to create a sushi roll that benefits the celebrity’s charity of choice.

Marshall created a vegetarian sushi roll with cabbage salad and spicy aioli that benefits Oceana, Eater reports. The organization is the largest international one dedicated to ocean conservation.

Oceana has created a map that is regularly updated on the oil spill and the areas it affects, especially as it pertains to wildlife. Wildlife covered in oil and areas of oiled beaches are indicated, as well as the thickness of the oil in a particular area. Wildlife tracked include brown pelicans, sea turtles, and tuna.

Since the oil spill, Oceana has responded in numerous ways, both at the site of the disaster and through political and grassroots efforts

After sending one of their scientific directors to assess the spill, Oceana sent board members Sam Waterston to testify before Congress on the topic of ocean acidification and later in the month, Senior Vice President and Chief Scientist Dr. Michael Hirshfield testified before Congress on offshore drilling.

After gathering signatures from 80 conservation organizations, Oceana wrote a letter to the Senate urging a prohibition on expanded offshore oil and gas exploration and drilling.
