At one point in time, not too long ago, the year 2020 seemed like “the future” and I am sure we all assumed that we would be driving around in flying cars by then. Well we may not have flying cars in 2020, but it is being proclaimed as the “Year of the Gulf” in an effort to raise awareness for our wonderful resource. Embrace the Gulf 2020 is a campaign focused on tourism, community, economy, education, and environment. Please visit the campaign website to learn more: http://embracethegulf.org. Here is a short statement from their website:
“The Gulf of Mexico provides food, shelter, protection, security, energy, habitat, recreation, transportation, and navigation – playing an important role in our communities, states, region, and nation. To highlight the value and the vitality of the Gulf of Mexico region, the Gulf of Mexico Alliance conceived an awareness campaign “Embrace the Gulf” for the entire year 2020. The awareness campaign will culminate in a multi-stakeholder, cross-sector celebration of the importance of the Gulf of Mexico throughout the year 2020.”
