Two Years after the BP Oil Spill, Gulf Coast is Rebounding Over 100 Tourism Leaders Want More Restoration Help

摘要

Numerous Gulf Coast business owners say they have yet to fully recover to pre-oil spill levels before the Deepwater Horizon spill two years ago. Over 100 tourism leaders from Gulf Coast cities, municipalities, economic development organizations and chambers of commerce have formed a coalition to urge Congress to pass the RESTORE Act. In late May the group sent a joint letter to Congress asking them to pass the legislation to restore coastal communities, economies and environments affected by the oil spill.
