Drift Cards Afloat in Gulf of Mexico

LIBERTY, June 28, 2013 - The Gulf Integrated Spill Research consortium (Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative funded consortium lead by Texas A&M University) is conducting a drift card experiment. Environmentally friendly, bright yellow drift cards are being deployed on vessels of opportunity to better understand surface circulations in the Gulf of Mexico. An essential component of this program is public awareness. Only those cards that are found and reported give us data points to work with.
