Fishermans’s Handbook To Provide In-Depth Coverage On Gulf Situation
As part of the on going issues in the Gulf of Mexico related to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, “The Fisherman’s Handbook” will be doing expanded television coverage in July, August and September.
This increased coverage will be covering timely and current events related to fishing, birds, marsh habitat, events and tourism in regard to how the spill is affecting the way of life in areas all along the Gulf, both from a recovery standpoint as well as personal stories tied to this situation. This coverage has a dedicated goal to provide as current as information as possible including websites providing information about how to help, and with information about the conditions in the Gulf as well as recreational opportunities still being provided in affected areas.
Camera teams will began gathering footage led by veteran outdoors personality Wade Middleton of Careco Multimedia as well as birding professional James Currie. The programs and information will be seen on FOX Sports Net at 10 a.m. on Sunday (check your local listings) as well as updates on the Fisherman’s Handbook Facebook page, including video.
“I was down in the Venice, La., area in mid-May and the situation has seriously changed since then,” Middleton said. “As a person who is really worried about the future of the areas affected, my goal is to provide helpful information to those affected in the areas we understand such as the fishing, birding and marine tourism … both what’s still available as well as what’s not.”
Middleton is offering updates on the situation and the team’s travels through his blog on VERSUS. Information also can be found on the team’s Facebook page.
“When I lived in my home country of South Africa I experienced first-hand the devastation of a major oil spill on penguins, birdlife, fish stocks and a fragile marine ecosystem,” said Currie, host of “Birding Adventures TV.” “What we’re seeing right now in the Gulf is only the tip of the iceberg and the slow strangulation of the entire region’s web of life is only just beginning. We need to act swiftly and wisely to ensure that this tragedy is mitigated.”
