Included in the NOAA presentation, were members from the University of  New Hampshire that have been working under the support of NOAA, and Mr. Steve Lehmann to better understand how NFO’s react during the clean-up and removal process. Mr. House represented the oil spill industry, and discussed the challenges an NFO event can have, yet also provided some detailed and successful tactics that have been used.
