In this edition:

Hundreds of Thousands of Fish Killed in the Pearl River
In August, Temple-Inland corporation’s Bogalusa, Louisiana paper mill released toxic black liquor into the Pearl River, triggering a massive fish kill. Since then, GRN has been working to monitor the situation and make sure that Louisiana and Mississippi hold Temple-Inland accountable and take action to prevent future fish kills.

Clean, healthy water plays a central role in the lives and livelihoods of those who call Florida home, but some local politicians seem to be doing everything they can to prevent commonsense measures to reduce harmful algal blooms.

A Chance to RESTORE the Gulf
As Congress considers legislation that would send Clean Water Act fines from the BP drilling disaster back to the Gulf for environmental and economic restoration, GRN and our partners are working hard to make sure that the best possible bill passes and passes soon.

Despite another huge Dead Zone in the Gulf this summer, EPA continues to refuse to take decisive action to reduce Dead Zone-causing pollution.
