The Ocean Futures Team has completed Expedition Two to the front line of the Gulf Oil Disaster. When the Team returns to the Gulf you will be able to follow them, in real time, here. Please check back often.

The OFS Team First Expedition to the Deep Horizon Oil Spill Map

Ocean Futures Society is committed to being a part of the solution. The team has again used the EPA calculation tool for their carbon footprint and will offset through GreenShipping and Bonneville Environmental Foundation.

Please help us follow more than the oil; help us follow the solution.
