Several weeks ago, military action in the region caused storage tanks near Beirut to be damaged, that has lead to a major oil spill in the eastern Mediterranean.
Here's an NPR story on the subject, in case you've been tuning out the conflict.

I'm a senior in Environmental Studies. Even if it just involved brute work, I want to see if any of the Non-Governmental Organizations involved in the clean up want to hire me, or accept me as a volunteer to assist. I doubt they're going to have a surplus of volunteers willing to go to Lebanon, and I think an oil spill of this magnitude needs to be addressed. I just have no idea who to contact to ask about joining the clean up effort. Can anyone help me out on this?
