Following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico , Ducks Unlimited became involved with multiple clean-up efforts in Gulf states . The organization worked with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service to protect approximately 79,000 acres of waterfowl and other water bird habitat . In 2015 , Ducks Unlimited partnered with The Trust for Public Land to build an online database that tracked conservation and cleanup efforts following the Deepwater Horizon spill . On August 16 , 2018 , the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ) announced a $ 1.8 million cooperative agreement with Ducks Unlimited to clean up oil spills and hazardous waste releases in the Gulf of Mexico in the state of Texas
