These are 2 emails I received from BP's response team.....just as the case was on May 2, before monday's run, when ths spill hits shore, any company that can assist in the clean up will do well.
EVXA is in a position to assist....that's what we are investing in. Even the coast guard and the various seashore towns will need additional methods and assistance. EVXA is a much needed tool.

KEY WEST, Fla. -- The United States Coast Guard at Sector Key West, Fla., in conjunction with its port partners and key stakeholders, have been actively preparing for possible marine pollution effects from the spill associated with the sinking of the mobile offshore drilling unit, Deepwater Horizon, on April 22, 2010.
As part of an ongoing preparation efforts, the Coast Guard hosted a joint meeting on Tuesday, May 4th, at Sector Key West with federal, state, and local partners to discuss potential impacts and response priorities should the spill affect the waters of the Florida Keys.
In addition to the Coast Guard, Key West City officials, representatives from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the U.S. Navy, Monroe County Department of Public Health, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Monroe County Emergency Management, City of Key West, City of Marathon, National Park Service, Coast Guard Auxiliary, and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission met to review highly sensitive areas in the Keys, prepared response strategies, and to share information and discuss pollution mitigation.
“Although it is still too soon to predict if or how the Florida Keys may be impacted by the Deepwater Horizon spill, we are focused on preparing for whatever those impacts may be,” said Capt. Pat DeQuattro, sector commander at Coast Guard Sector Key West.
