Just got a Google alert:

http://www.surfline.com/surf-news/environmental-news/gulf-alert-2010_44995/

On Saturday, July 3rd ECO-Warrior James Pribram, professional surfer and model Mary Osborne, along with champion stand-up paddler Chuck Patterson and actor Richard Burgi will leave for Gulf Port Miss. The Gulf Alert team will stand-up paddle through areas of the spill in protest of the devastation that is plaguing that region of coastline as well as document a fly-over and participate in local wildlife rescue efforts.

ETA There was a family issue and RB had to cancel.

Gulfport the city or the Port of Gulfport?

Don't know; I only know what's in the article, sorry. Are you in the area?

I live about an hour and a half away - if I take USHwy 49 S and don't pay attention to the stop sign, I run into the gulf.

Unfortunately, I'm working in Utah for the summer.

I like that he's doing something more than just talking as it's an issue he's very involved with.
