I would recommend other share holders contacting BP at the above number Update from MOP Re: Gulf of Mexico Spill 4/29/2010
Many of you have written to ask if MOP Maximum Oil Pickup oil absorbent could be helpful in the spill in the Gulf of Mexico right now.
The answer is an unequivocal YES. MOP could be used in many ways but the highest and best use right now is in the littoral zone close to the shore where MOP can be used to lock up the oil so that it doesn’t damage the fragile ecosystem and fisheries of the region.
We have offered the following thanks to a generous offer from a MOP friend and shareholder:
We have offered to ship a container of MOP absorbent with the equipment necessary to deploy it. The full container could be deployed using our MOP Cannon in about 4 hours and lock up between 40 – 80 thousand gallons of oil. Additionally, We could have a second container ready to ship within a few days.
We have left messages at the command center for LT Dauner of the US Coast Guard – one of the people who is leading efforts to coordinate help.
Additionally, Wayne King has spoken with Catherine Williams the point person for BP on the phone and followed up with a message by email (as requested).
We stand ready to ship the sorbent the moment we get an ok and Wayne King is prepared to travel to the area if we can be of assistance in the deployment.
We are trying very hard to reach out to help and we believe that the folks working to contain the spill are acting heroically but we are frustrated that we have been unable to get the MOP into the hands of folks where it would do some good.
If you have suggestions for how we might be able to reach a decision maker, feel free to email Wayne King at MOPEnvironmental@gmail.com.
