Low-flying crop dusters will buzz the waters north of Padre Island National Seashore next week as part of a two-day oil spill response seminar. The training, from March 8-9, will include classroom work and a near-shore, aerial application of a simulated oil spill dispersant. The overflight will serve both as a training opportunity and to demonstrate a newly developed fluorometer, a device used in oil spill cleanups to measure how much light filters through the water surface. Only water will be used in the drill over the Gulf. Experts from the land office, the U.S. Coast Guard and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will be in Corpus Christi to conduct the seminar.
