Breaux Act Newsflash - 2004 Gulf Guardian Award Nominations Deadline Extended

***********************************************************************
The Gulf Guardian Award nominations deadline has been extended to May 10,
2004.

The Gulf of Mexico Program developed the Gulf Guardian awards as a method
of recognizing and honoring the businesses, community groups, individuals,
and agencies that are taking positive steps to keep the Gulf healthy,
beautiful, and productive. The Gulf of Mexico Program began in 1988 to
protect, restore, and maintain the health and productivity of the Gulf of
Mexico ecosystem in economically sustainable ways.

Award entries are received from Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi,
and Texas. A first, second, and third place awards are given each year in
six categories - individual, business, youth and education, nonprofit
organizations, government, and partnership efforts.
