Monitoring and Advocating for a Healthy Gulf for Fifteen Years
The Gulf Restoration Network (GRN) is a 15-year old environmental non-profit and the only environmental organization working Gulf-wide in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and Florida. Cyn Sarthou is Executive Director. The GRN is committed to uniting and empowering people to protect and restore the natural resources of the Gulf Region for future generations. Staff is based throughout the Gulf Region to monitor environmental conditions in the air, water and on the ground. Campaigns focus on fishing, healthy waters, species at risk and sustainable practices to save the Gulf and wetlands. Check out their web site for information, videos, volunteer opportunities and how to donate.
Reporting on the BP Oil Spill from Day One
The GRN was the first group to fly over the Gulf of Mexico after the Deepwater Horizon explosion, and has been providing independent monitoring and advocacy focused on holding BP accountable and ensuring an effective and transparent response to the crisis. Of great interest is the reporting by staff biologists on the impact of the BP oil spill on birds, animals and marine life in the Gulf Region such as Ellis Pickett on sea turtles and Aaron Viles on sperm whales. News and commentary about the BP Oil spill are added daily to their site.
Stay Informed, Take Action, and Be Ready for the Long Haul
We’ll all be living with the BP oil spill for a long time – so get ready for the long haul – and thank you for supporting the Gulf Restoration Network if you love the Gulf Region or know someone who does. Sta informed and take action. We’re glad the GRN is in place and we know their job just got much larger. We know we can count on them to keep us informed, and we want the GRN to know they can count on our support through our blog and our t-shirts. We appreciate the work you do.
KissMyCountry will donate $2.50 to the Gulf Restoration network for each Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi or Texas purchased via our website and through wholesale customers. Our Florida t-shirt supports the Loggerhead Marine Life Center in Juno Beach, Florida. T-shirts are available in organic cotton or v-neck and are created ‘on demand’. We thank you for showing your love for the Gulf Region!
