2 UL Professors Going to Gulf
Two UL professors are being sent by the National Science Foundation to the Gulf of Mexico to study the oil spill's impact.
Biology professors Suzanne Fredericq and Darryl Felder got an almost 200,000 dollar grant to study these life forms in the Gulf.
Fredericq focuses on plants, and Felder on wildlife-both indicators of how the oil can affect areas along the shore.
"All plants provide oxygen-and oxygen is needed to sustain the whole food chain. So if you don't have oxygen you're going to have dead zones," says Fredericq.
