[Seth-Trips] Fwd: Baykeeper Action Alert: Oil Spill Citizen Response

[Praveen Sinha]

Hey guys,

I know it's a little short notice, but I'm going to the oil spill
cleanup training workshop later today (the 10th), and there is another
one tomorrow.  This is in regards to the massive oil spill that
occured this week.

Cheers!
Praveen

 To the Rescue!



 Thank you for your support in response to Wednesday's oil spill. We
appreciate the outpouring of offers to help and we'll keep you updated
on opportunities as they arise. It'll take all of us working together
to clean up our precious Bay after this oil spill's destructive wake.

While we are heartened by the overwhelming interest in getting
involved in a clean up, a word of caution: chemicals in oil can impair
breathing and may lead to long-term health affects. If you are not
properly trained in oil spill clean up and rescue, please stay away
from polluted beaches and stay out of the water to keep yourself and
your families safe.

As of Friday evening, the first opportunity to volunteer is for those
interested in attending a public workshop. The Department of Fish and
Game's Office of Spill Prevention and Response is holding the
following informational wildlife care trainings.

November 10, 9:30 - 11:30 PM
 Bill Graham Civic Auditorium
 99 Grove Street, San Francisco
 (415) 974-4060

November 10, 1:30 - 3:30 PM
 Harbor Master Richmond Marina
 1340 Marina Way South, Richmond
 (510) 236-1013

November 10, 5-7 PM
 Headlands Institute
 Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Building 1033, Sausalito
 (415) 332-5771

 Additional volunteer opportunities will likely emerge in the upcoming
days and weeks. We will let you know as soon as we have further
information from our partners including the Oiled Wildlife Care
Network. Consider forwarding this message to your friends and ask them
to sign up on our website to show their support. You can also help out
by making a donation to sustain Baykeeper's work to hold the
responsible parties accountable in cleaning up this spill. Your
contributions will help us respond to this crisis.
