The goal, along with fellow Washington, DC bloggers on CitizenEffect's Gulf Mission blogging trip, was to meet and learn from fishing families about the oil disaster - hoping to find ways to help out. Despite beaches being inaccessible due to disaster response, I assumed neighborhoods and eateries would still be active hubs for local folks we could talk to.

Perhaps contented with their villain, the White House lets Thad Allen run the show while U.S. media interest in the oil spill statistically wanes. Yet, the situation continues to worsen for the economically stricken Gulf states.
