SOCS Update

The crew has been rockin'and rollin' and we have completed 8 of our 10 sites in Mississippi.  Albeit in miniscule amounts, we are finding oil.  The dispersant really broke things up and the oil we are detecting is in tiny specs suspended in the water column and on the ocean floor.  Our initial 'presence/absence' search for oil will be enhanced with subsequent sampling.  Following laboratory examination of the samples we submit, the field operations team will decide where our targeted sampling effort will begin.

Some more shots of the crew...



Late winter on the Mississippi coast is surprisingly warm and we have been graced with mild weather, which makes our work a lot more pleasant!  Some more shots from the deck of the Horn Island...
