The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has launched a federal Web site meant to answer questions about the response to the B-P Gulf oil spill.

Agency officials say it’s designed as a one-stop shop for detailed near-real-time information about the response to the Deepwater Horizon incident, incorporating data from the various agencies that are working together to tackle the spill.

Originally designed for responders, who make operational decisions regarding the disaster, the web site integrates the latest data on the oil spill’s trajectory, fishery closed areas, wildlife and Gulf Coast resources into one customizable interactive map.

The web site is http://www.GeoPlatform.gov/gulfresponse.
