Recreational Fishing industry and Charter Boat Loss of Business Information
The beaches are not the only thing that draws tourist to the Gulf Coast. Fishing is a major tourism industry in the area that will also be affected by the oil spill. On May 2, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced a large area, extending from Louisiana to parts of the Florida Panhandle would be closed to commercial and recreational fishing. The amount of time the area will be closed is not yet known, since the oil is still spilling into the Gulf and final relief could be up to 3 months away.
For so many people, spring and summer is the start of the fishing season. The Gulf offers a multitude of fish, such as red snapper, redfish, grouper, black drum, Wahoo, tuna and trout. Fisherman from around the world travel to the Gulf Coast to fish and the businesses along the Gulf Coast depend on these fishermen for their livelihood. Boat rental and charter companies, guides, tackle and bait shops, equipment rental companies, sporting stores, and taxidermist all stand to lose a large amount of their business due to the oil spill.
