Some DUers yesterday were expressing desires to find ways to help- volunteer vacation time etc.
Others in the affected regions might also want these links to pass along.

Posted Fri, Apr 30, 2010 by emily

As the first reports of wildlife covered in oil come in, several of you have contacted or commented asking how you can help with the recovery efforts in the Gulf.

Here’s a list of places you can volunteer, let us know in the comments if you have heard of other organizations accepting/needing volunteers.

* You can register through OilSpillVolunteers.com to volunteer or join a cleanup organization.
* The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL) is accepting volunteers. Register on their website.
* The Mobile Baykeeper is asking for volunteers. Call 251-433-4229.
