GLIN==> The Environment Report for 08.24.09

Today on The Environment Report.
 

It's the deadline today for states
to submit proposals for stimulus 
money for high-speed rail.  Shawn 
Allee explains why this project is 
running a little behind schedule.

And... shrimp fishermen in the Gulf 
of Mexico have watched their catches 
go from thousands of pounds to nothing.  
That's because there's a dead zone in 
the Gulf where nothing can survive.  
Samara Freemark has more on this dead 
zone, what's causing it, and what it 
means for the shrimpers.
