NOAA Launches Oil Spill Mapping Site

People interested in keeping track of the latest on the Deepwater Horizon spill cleanup efforts can now do so on a new Web site developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The site provides up-to-the-minute information about efforts to respond to the spill that occurred April 20, and is part of NOAA's ongoing transparency plan, according to the agency.
