2. The Story
Project Gulf Impact came together after weeks of planning by team
member Matt Smith before departing from California. Using the power of
social media, Matt came in contact with Gavin Garrison and Heather Rally,
with the mission of telling the truth about the hazardous health effects
being faced by people down in the Gulf.
The project has already conducted a diverse set of interviews, ranging
from fishermen and restaurant owners to biologists, environmentalists,
toxicologists, veterinarians and representatives from federal agencies.
Social media keeps bringing to the surface more heartbreaking stories.
3. Mission
Project Gulf Impact’s mission is to document the economic,
environmental and human health impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
This Project seeks to provide a voice for residents of the Gulf and hopes to
capture the social, political and environmental climate surrounding one of
the greatest environmental disasters of our time.
4. Goals
Project Gulf Impact has three simple goals:
1. Get back down to the Gulf immediately;
2. Work with partners there to set up a headquarters to manage the
information resources and relief efforts of the organization, working
with vetted non-profit professionals who are supporting our startup
efforts; and
3. Report from the scene, putting together a documentary film that will
tell the story of the hazardous health effects of the BP oil spill.
