~Fix the Pumps~So we've detailed the repair work done on the rusty pumps last year, and the Corps decisions in 2006-07 which led to that work. The repair work is being funded with dollars that were supposed to go toward placement of a permanent pumping system at the lakefront. Instead, they're fixing their three-year-old screw-ups.

Gulf of Mexico - Time To Get Serious About Routine Satellite Monitoring ~SkyTruth
~The ongoing Deepwater Horizon oil spill has provided a rare scientific opportunity: for the first time, multiple satellite remote-sensing systems, from visible to infrared to radar, are providing daily images of a large area in the Gulf of Mexico. This systematic imaging is proving useful for measuring the size and location of oil slicks and sheen, and for estimating the rate of leakage from BP's failed Macondo well.It's also demonstrating another important ability -- here at SkyTruth we think we've discovered a small but possibly chronic leak from an oil platform located a few miles off the Mississippi Delta, unrelated to but not far from BP's leaking well.
