Tournament Update/Gulf Incident
May 4, 2010 | Shawna Meisner | I’m sure you’re all aware of the situation in the Gulf, and are curious about our position so, first of all, I want to thank you for your patience.
We’re monitoring the situation in the Gulf of Mexico very closely, and working with government officials and private sector resources to get the most accurate information about our local waterways.
I understand there have been tournament changes in areas nearby the impacted waterways, but the Emerald Coast Blue Marlin Classic (ECBC) will continue evaluating all factors and make a decision by Tuesday, May 18, or sooner, about whether or not to hold our tournament this June 22-27.
As always, please feel free to contact me if you have comments, input or questions.
In the meantime, the ECBC fully supports the anticipated efforts of all conservation oriented groups to protect and restore our coastal environment and waterways, and extend our sympathies to the families of those lost at sea.
If you want to keep track of current developments, for charts, graphs and other facts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) And Joint Response Groups visit Gulf of Mexico - Deepwater Horizon Incident.
Thanks again for being a supporter of the ECBC.
Warmest regards,
Shawna Meisner
