"The BP disaster is still going....every day the estimate of the amount of oil spilling from this huge leak is increased. As you read this, here on the Gulf, this monster is invading our beaches and wetlands . Please help.... Volunteer at our "Boom-b-ques", spread the word, buy a T-shirt from this site (all proceeds go to defraying the costs which are great), send us your hair and/or panty hose and PRAY!"


There is a monster in the Gulf - unleashed from the depths by BP offshore drilling.  It threatens the way of life of millions of Gulf Coast residents and thousands of miles of beaches and wetlands.  The wetlands are critical to the gulf coast environment and, once gone, are irreplaceable.  The oil is already, as of this writing, invading the wetlands of Louisiana and threatens the Mississippi, Alabama and Florida coasts.
This is a story about a disaster of unprecedented proportions... but it is also a story about a community's response.  As residents of the Gulf Coast we can't stop the leak - but we CAN protect or at least minimize the damage to our wetlands and beaches.  The time to prepare for this is NOW.  The SOS Save Our Shores organization is a community-based group preparing for the disaster by creating  oil-absorbent hair booms for use in the critical shoreline.     In addition to alerting the residents of the Alabama Gulf Coast to wildlife assistance training and volunteer programs, the group, composed entirely of volunteers is heavily involved in building miles of hair booms to protect critical shorelines.  Hair Boom Demo
 If you have a passion for sunsets on the bay - or shrimp boils in the evening at the beach, or a love of the wildlife in the Alabama wetlands join us.  Click on members and join our website.  Help if you can.  Donate, contribute or volunteer.  We can't wait til the oil hits our shores.... we must act now.
 WE NEED YOUR HELP!   Miles of these super-absorbent, environmental-friendly booms are needed.  We need hair (animal and human), panty hose and, most of all, VOLUNTEERS!
