Need to Report an Oil Spill Location? There's an App for That

"Oil Reporter isn't a public shaming campaign for BP-no, that'll take care of itself just fine, thanks. This iPhone app, which lets Gulf Coast residents record every oily bird and patch of ruined swampland, is about fixing things."

Works along the same line as the AT&T app to report problems with the network, however this one will report locations where you notice oil spills or remnants from another areas spill coming into your location. CrisisCommons gets all the info, then gathers and coordinates the crowdsource data and makes sure the appropriate agencies get the info to assist in cleanup. And it's free.
