As the fallout from the most massive oil spill in the United States continues to be ascertained, Gulf Coast sailors can take steps to protect their boats and the environment with the help of a new website launched by BoatUS.

The website, www.BoatUS.com/oilspill, brings together a range of public and private resources and information for sailors, including how to protect your boat and the environment as well as boat cleanup tips. You'll also find links to the most current information from a diverse range of state and federal sites including a NOAA Trajectory Map showing daily forecasted movement and locations of the oil spill.
