OIL SPILLS: UNDERSTANDING THE SCIENCE AND CLEANUP METHODS
Saturday, June 25th, 1:00PM -- 3:00PM
Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge; Middletown, RI
We all recall the Deepwater Horizon oil spill from last spring and know that such spills can be very harmful. In this activity, participants will take part in hands-on activities to learn about and explore previous spills, what happens during an oil spill, and about why these events are harmful to wildlife.
