Our Partnership
The Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI) was established by a $500 million commitment from BP in response to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The 10-year research program aimed to mitigate the impacts of hydrocarbon pollution and stressors on the marine environment and public health from the spill, as well as improve society’s understanding of oil spill issues. GoMRI supports an extension and outreach effort in the Sea Grant programs of the Gulf of Mexico (Florida, Mississippi-Alabama, Louisiana and Texas) to increase the use of oil spill science by people whose livelihoods depend on a healthy Gulf. To learn more about this program, including Sea Grant/GoMRI synthesis & legacy efforts, click here.
