Christopher Doley is leading the efforts of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in continued efforts to clean up and restore the natural habitats in the Gulf of Mexico affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill of 2010. The spill was the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history, and Doley’s restoration plan will continue for at least 10 more years.
“Chris has been essential to bringing all of the state and federal players to the table to create the nation’s largest-ever environmental restoration program,” said Eileen Sobeck, assistant administrator of NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service.
