GRN Tells Gulf States to Clean Up Their Act!
The Gulf Restoration Network is proud to announce the release of Clean Up Your Act! Report Card. This report grades each of the five Gulf states on how different important sections of the Clean Water Act are incorporated into state rules. Regretfully each state scored poorly, averaging a D+.
The scores ranged from a C- to an F, which shows that all of the Gulf states have not lived up to their obligations under the Clean Water Act. -  Download the September 2009 Gulf States Report Card
