Oil Spill

[warsawdaddy]

This spill gives a whole new meaning to 'Blackened Red fish' in New Orleans.What a catastrophy this is.It's been 21yrs since the Exxon Valdez spill and it's still affecting that area.It will probably be 30yrs before the Gulf is clean.I worked with and know several of the shrimpers out of Bayou La Batre in AL and out of Ocean Springs,MS.Their whole way of life is disappearing before their eyes.And those pristine white sand beaches will be no more,even into FL.

Man the price of gas/oil/and shrimp gonna go sky high! the humanity!!!

It already has.. Most stores only keep a 2 day supply on-hand so the price will jump on Monday. I guess any fish from that region now will surely go on the "Black Fish market".

Isn't that how Bubba Gump started?
No - wait. That was a storm.

Will be hard to tell gold bearing black sand from other black sand.

I don't eat shellfish but feel bad for the jobs lost.

well folks theres always the east coast of florida beaches * ( looks like the west coast florida beaches will be hit)--the whole gulf area seafood bussiness and oyster & shrimping is going to hurt big time -- poor new orleans*** first katrina now this --- just in time for the "we need to open the oil beds off of floridas coast for drilling" --might as well "drill" now --the damage is done * -- so now we gotta recover fiscally from it somehow.

Not much or a surprise when these companies can deep drill with limited regulation and obviously have no diaster solution, or at least a good one. I think by the time it's said and done it will be far worse than the Exxon. (If it's not now it must be close do to the difference in location)
