“Data that’s been gathered about the spill’s impact has yet to be made public” — USF Dean: Feds will not share test results with researchers who collected samples

USF’s first research trip after the spill gathered samples that were turned over to the federal government for use as evidence in the case against the companies blamed for the rig’s April 20 explosion. So far, he said, the government has not shared the results.

“There’s been a lot of data that’s gone into the system that we have not seen,” Hogarth said.
