Hi Martin,

Thanks for the note, and wow sorry to see all this! I don't know of anyone mapping there right now. Looping in Skytruth who might be able to help with some current imagery(?) I'm ccing Public Lab organizer, Pat Coyle, as well who has done some work with Engineers without Boarders in the region. Also, if you're available and interested in mapping the spill with a few people locally balloon or kite mapping to gather some imagery, let me know!
