Texas Tech Researchers Talk With Alabama Natives About Importance of Independent Research

While looking for oil samples off Dauphin Island, Texas Tech researchers Ernest Smith and Mike Wages encounter some locals who own a pier off Mobile Bay. The men, a father and his sons, discuss their concern and offer assistance to the researchers. Their pier is right by an estuary and close to an oyster bed. Smith tells them how scientists at The Institute of Environmental and Human Health want to assist.
