From the beautiful cypress forests to seagrass beds teaming with fish to the most biodiverse wetlands in the country, the Gulf Coast is a natural treasure. Unfortunately, we lose a football field worth of wetlands every 45 minutes on the Gulf coast and BP's oil drilling disaster is wreaking havoc on the marine and coastal ecosystems our communities rely on. You can help defend the Gulf!
This summer, work with the Gulf Restoration Network in New Orleans to organize public support for the "Defend the Gulf" campaign, pressure Congress and oil companies to fix the coast and clean up the mess, and recruit members for the Gulf Restoration Network. We can still work to defend the Gulf from the impacts of BP's oil drilling disaster!
Work in New Orleans with potential for travel throughout the Gulf, learn valuable outreach and activism skills, have a real impact on saving the Gulf, and earn $4,800 to $8,000 working May through August.
Applicants must be available to attend an information session in New Orleans. To apply to be a public outreach advocate with Gulf Restoration Network, please call us at 504-525-1528 ext. 203.
