The project aims to use Greenpeace tools of bearing witness, satellite mapping and hazmat expertise to draw attention to the many gaps in the regulations for oil production in Russia and the impressive level of destruction that can be wrought by a poorly regulated oil industry.Related Collections:Russian Oil Spill Patrol (Photos & Videos)
