On Tuesday, a public event was held in Valdez where researchers presented the experiment and the findings so far to a crowd in the Valdez Civic Center. The presentation was followed by an open house on the dock where people could view the oceanographic equipment. It was a great success with a lot of interest from the public. The attendance included Valdez Mayor Cottle, House Representative Harris, Commissioner Hartig of the DEC, the US Coast Guard, and many others.
