Abstract

Dear Editor,
Regarding the unfortunate oil spill occurred last January 15th on our coast, I would like to call the attention of your readership towards the need to formulate a proactive Plan of Action to address Environmental Health concerns and use the best practices to communicate risks for people whose livelihoods are closely intertwined with the affected areas.
