There has been a lot of talk about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The economic effects on the fishing industry are now becoming ever more apparent. People are losing their jobs as the fishermen are no longer able to fish due to the concerns of the effects of oil on the fish. Oystermen are having these same problems.
One business that is suffering is the P&J Oyster Company. They recently laid off 11 full time workers now that there are no oysters being brought in to shuck. The company has been in business for 134 years and is struggling to stay afloat. These are the kind of stories that bring home the true reality of the disaster.
