OilSpillVolunteers.com is no longer accepting volunteer registrations, but they do recommend these sites as alternatives:
"Each of the four Gulf of Mexico states affected by the BP spill have established their own web sites for volunteer coordination within their states. We are working with each of the states to provide email addresses of our volunteers. Everyone who registered at OilSpillVolunteers.com must register at the state sites. The new state registration forms provide much more detail on volunteer qualifications and interests, so that the full OSV database is not directly transferable.
If you live outside the region, be aware that the number of local volunteers seems to greatly outnumber the opportunities for volunteers now. You should identify a specific volunteer role before traveling to the Coast."
SouthWings Seeks Volunteer Pilots in Gulf Region

You can go flying and work to protect the environment at the same time. SouthWings, a non-profit organization based in North Carolina, is looking for a few good pilots to help with recovery efforts in the Gulf. We are receiving a high volume of flight requests related to the Gulf oil spill disaster, and we need additional pilots to help conduct these missions.
The requirements of a SouthWings pilot are:
* Love of flying and interest in conservation
* Minimum 750 hours of Pilot In Command time
* Own or have access to an aircraft
* Completion of a Volunteer Pilot Application and Volunteer Pilot Agreement
* Addition of SouthWings as additional insured on aircraft policy
If interested, please call us toll free at 800.640.1131, or become a member of the SouthWings website (www.southwings.org) and indicate that you are a pilot in the membership questionnaire.
