Here at NSO, we are having a hard time coming to terms with largest eco disaster our country has ever seen. Obviously, the impact on the Gulf States fisheries and other wildlife habitat effects the whole country but as avid fisherman within the industry we are at a loss for words.  We are confident that when the events leading up to the spill are uncovered it will be proven that this spill could have been avoided.  Below you will find links to agencies that are covering the spill at every turn.  We highly recommend taking a look at the NOAA ERMA Tool for some great information.

Our hearts go out to those that our being impacted by this tragedy and our prayers are with you.
