IESO Presenting at Clean Gulf Conference
Dr. Scott Harris is presenting in two sessions of the upcoming 2011 Clean Gulf conference in San Antonio. On November 30, Preparing the Florida Keys for Deepwater Horizon will detail the collaborative planning efforts that went into identifying and protecting the unique cultural and natural resources found in the Keys from the threat of one of the largest oil spills in history. On December 1, Oil on the Kalamazoo will review the response efforts following a July 2010 pipeline rupture that released nearly a million gallons of oil into the Kalamazoo River near Marshall, MI. Over 2,500 responders worked to contain and recover oil from 35 miles of river and shoreline.
Scott was a member of the O’Brien’s Response Incident Management Team for both of these events, and had a unique view of the daily challenges and operations. Following the conference presentations, slides will be posted here for download by our web visitors.
IESO Responds to the Deepwater Horizon Spill
In support of BP’s response to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil release, Dr. Scott Harris served as the Planning Specialist embedded with the U.S. Coast Guard in Sector Key West. As part of the O’Brien’s Response Incident Management Team (IMT), he successfully integrated resource Trustees, including the National Park Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife, into the planning process to develop site-specific tactical response plans for protection of the Dry Tortugas National Park, the Marquesas Islands, the Lower, Middle and Upper Keys and the southern Everglades. 
The plans, which became addendums to the Area Contingency Plan (ACP), addressed a multitude of threatened and endangered species, refuges, marine sanctuaries, cultural artifacts and sensitive ecosystems unique to the Keys.
