   edition of now you now -- meg -- in New York the oil crisis on the golf is good Gulf Coast is considered the largest offshore spill in US history. But marine life suffering extensive damage experts fear and environmental disaster. Let's mention damage to fishing and tourism. If you want to help our next guest just a few suggestions joining us now from the daily Green is senator Dan chaplain Jan welcome back of the show thanks good to see you next. So it's -- heartbreaking topic because these pictures are awful to look at the pelicans and the beaches but give us some rundown of the kind of damage for looking so far.

   Well if this still has taught us nothing else it's that the Gulf of Mexico is one of the most biologically active X important areas in the country. You have a third of the nation's seafood roughly coming from -- particularly shrimp oysters red snapper grouper. Speeches like this you have amazing bird life I'm those brown pelicans have become iconic of course there were an endangered species. Only recently taking off the list. Now we're looking at possibly you know putting them back on I would think because of the damage sustained because -- oil -- You have shore birds by the thousands. -- coming here to Nast and to breed and to stop over in their

   want to help let's start with -- if you live in the Gulf Coast region right person should do is report injured wildlife and soiled beaches because there are some areas that officials might not be aware -- this thing keeps spreading. You have you know still some state waters that are open to fishing for instance you have beaches open. In some areas. But the spill that's as I'm sure you are watching those maps day by day this -- changes with the current swear this is the surface of the oh this bill where the machine that is. Is spreading and then you have these deep underwater plumes. Getting into new areas we don't know when RF there was might surface so it's important that if you live along the Gulf Coast due to report it so -- really you -- Well the government has different hotline set up you can find those on the daily Green. And after reporting wildlife for a beaches or other oil damage our you have been there in your screens yeah we're look at them on the screen but as she mentioned you -- your website we can also. With a look honey be seen yet that comes up. Okay next step you say to volunteer a lot of people show interest in volunteering them. We're talking -- oil -- what can people do if they're not trained -- that's chew on there are one of the points about volunteering is that there are not as many opportunities as people might like the desire might be greater than the need for actual volunteers one thing you have. People put out of work to fishermen -- are being employed. Not volunteering but you know -- from being employed to do this work so you wanna you -- kind of first in line. If you're on the Gulf Coast to each state has who has a website and that's service set -- that you can volunteer through and there are organizations -- The National Audubon Society. The Tri-State. Bird research and rescue operation that's down in the gulf region. Coordinating operations to cleanup efforts you do need training like you said -- come so it's it might not be the best. Choice for a lot of people particularly if you don't live in the region but if you are unemployed right now and you're looking for a job are they were offering to train people to get says yes definitely there's there's training programs out there being run by BP and the government. -- and some of these organizations to be to bring you up to speed on protecting yourself number one from any health concerns from contracting with oil and then also had a you know engage with wildlife for clean beaches in a way that's going to be effective -- can't be hand signed you can donate any demolition to donate to where can people go for that any of these groups that are working -- American need donations they're nonprofit groups for the most part so if you see an organization that you like is working on -- that's one place to donate. Another thing is if you -- you know expand your view out into the larger political issues how much offshore oil do you want to see happening -- kind of regulation. Where do you want to see our energy sources come from --
