Leveraging Science and Academic Engagement During Incidents
Tuesday, June 25 & Wednesday, June 26
***In addition to NOAA ORR, we appreciate the partnership and support of California Dept of Fish and Wildlife, Office of Spill Prevention and Response as well the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative. Thank you!
Workshop Goals:
- Develop best practices for advancing NOAA ORR interaction with the academic community during response, enabled by relationships built during the preparedness phase.
- Build relationships and foster understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the oil spill response/assessment scientific community and the academic community, including an understanding of each other’s strengths and limitations.
- Develop mechanisms that facilitate access for academic research during oil spills.
- Develop implementation recommendations and metrics for evaluating success.
