FSU Sponsors Symposium to Learn about Offshore Drilling

Report from Channel 27 News, http://www.wtxl.com/

"Legislators and environmentalists come together during an FSU sponsored symposium to learn about the possible effects of offshore drilling.

Experts on oceanography and marine studies took part in one of a series of symposiums held by the university. Experts hope to inform the public about the possible impact offshore drilling could have on the Gulf of Mexico.

Legislators are set to take on the controversial issue of offshore drilling in the coming months. Biology experts say there are a lot of studies available to explain the possible changes, but there's also still a lot that needs to be studied."
