Dispersant Aircraft February 13, 2019 Presquille, LA Dispersant application and monitoring aircraft stand ready at an airfield. The fleet of aircraft are deployed by an oil spill removal organization (OSRO) to apply dispersants to an oil spill when directed. The aircraft have different functions - some spray the dispersants while others serve as spotters to monitor the effectiveness of the application. The use of dispersants is a response tactic that helps to mitigate the impact of a spill. When dispersants are applied to a slick, they break up the oil into lots of small droplets. These tiny droplets have a high surface area-to-volume ratio, making them easier for oil-eating microbes to break them down (through the process of biodegradation). Dispersant application strategies are listed in the Oil Spill Response Plans maintained by offshore facility owners and operators. BSEE Preparedness Analysts from the Oil Spill Preparedness Division (OSPD) regularly inspect these plans and dispersant stockpiles and application equipment to ensure compliance with regulations and to monitor the overall vigor of the oil spill preparedness and response community.

Friends of South Louisiana Wetlands Discovery Foundation is a non-profit organization located in Houma, Louisiana. The foundation was established in 2001 with a mission to promote the preservation and restoration of the wetlands in southern Louisiana. The wetlands in this region are vital ecosystems, providing habitat for numerous species of wildlife and serving as a buffer against storms and hurricanes.

The organization operates a wetlands discovery center in Houma that offers educational programs and exhibits that teach visitors about the importance of wetlands. The center features interactive exhibits, displays, and live animals that provide a hands-on learning experience for people of all ages.

Friends of South Louisiana Wetlands Discovery Foundation also conducts research on wetland ecosystems, collaborating with universities and other organizations to study the impact of human activity on these fragile environments. The organization works to raise awareness about the importance of wetlands and advocates for policies and practices that protect and preserve these essential resources.

The foundation relies on donations and volunteers to carry out its mission. Volunteers participate in wetland restoration projects, assist with educational programs, and help with fundraising events. The organization also partners with businesses and other non-profits to support its efforts to protect and restore the wetlands in southern Louisiana.
