Popular Gulf of Mexico holiday resorts in Louisiana and Florida are bracing themselves as the oil from the BP-operated Deepwater Horizon rig reaches shore in the coming days. The threat to wildlife along the coastline - and the devastating repercussions for the local economy - now look likely to be much worse than initially feared. The spill was bigger than imagined - and closer. Five times more oil than BP estimated is gushing into the ocean from the rig which exploded.
Rescue Hovercraft Manufacturer Reaction International Ltd have received a number of enquiries from wildlife charities to discuss ways of protecting vulnerable birds and marine wildlife from the disaster, and are in discussions with their USA dealer to discuss how best to get rescue hovercraft to areas where they are most needed. Rescue hovercraft fly above the water and ground and can quickly get to areas that conventional boats and vehicles cannot reach, Hovercraft are ideal for this type of operation, for further details visit http://www.rescue-hovercraft.com/
