Correction

The headline on a story in Friday’s Gazette about the role of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in research work on the Gulf oil spill was inaccurate. BP did not break a commitment on a $500 million fund set up for the research work, although the status of the fund remains unclear since the money was folded into a $20 million fund to pay damage claims in the Gulf Coast disaster in a deal with the Obama administration. The oceanographic institution was also named incorrectly in the story.

The Gazette regrets the errors.
