Local Experience- “Big Jim” “Water was beautiful the entire summer, few tar balls some days, no sheen. THE BEST FISHING I’VE EVER SEEN. All fishing was shut down but I did some incredible catch and release on a beach with NO ONE ON IT IN JULY AND AUGUST...amazing. No sores, no dead fish, no dead birds, crabs...it was really pretty wonderful.” “Look for info on the West Beach Pass. Lots of history and one of the most interesting environmental SCREW UPS in the area.” SUMMARY Tar Balls Major Problem @ West Beach Pass No Surface Oil Sheen Beautiful Beaches Great Fishing No Crowds

ArcGIS & Web-Based GIS (ERMA) ArcGIS Desktop ERMA: A Web- Based GIS Pros Excellent for General Analysis Possibilities and Scope are HUGE Developed for Years Cons Obtaining Data Integrating Data Requires General Software Knowledge Pros Excellent for Specific Analyses Great Visualization Seamless Integration of Data Public Access Easy to Use (Point and Click) Cons Requires Significant Developer Effort Limited in Scope Small Toolkit

Conclusions Gulf Shores, AL is an environmentally sensitive area to oil spills NOAA predictions mesh well with observed data from the Gulf Oil Spill Deepwater Horizon has had a significant, but not catastrophic effect on the biological and commercial resources in Gulf Shores
