Hawaii Beach Cleanup - Adopt A Beach Hawaii

Oil Spill Response

We asked Justin Willig, Ocean Conservancy ICC Project Coordinator, to help our volunteers understand the Ocean Conservancy's response to the BP oil spill disaster:

With regards to what Ocean Conservancy is doing in the Gulf with it's volunteers: We have a Pre-Oil Arrival Beach Cleanup (Guidelines and Checklist) and a Gulf Oil Spill Tracker. The guidelines are what we are posting on our website for volunteers to read over before they get involved in any cleanups. The Gulf Oil Spill Tracker is an application we created with SkyTruth and the Surfrider Foundation for volunteers to log whether they saw any oil or not on any beaches they went to. They can then take pictures and upload them onto the internet. The data is then mapped, and people can track where the oil has gone. We have an iPhone app that volunteers can download to their phones, so they can do everything on spot. We are also currently in the process of making an Android app.

Please visit the Ocean Concervancy website for further information.
