Alabama Gulf Coast Oil Spill Information
From Dauphin Island to Orange Beach, spring and summer are huge months for two of the state’s big industries: tourism and seafood. Tourism alone in 2009 generated 8.9 billion dollars for Alabama. Alabama also has a huge commercial fishing and seafood industry along with huge recreational and sports fishing industry. Both of these industries and others are at risk of huge financial losses for years to come due to the BP oil spill.
The oil is still leaking into the Gulf and the amount per day appears to be increasing. Coast Guard Rear Admiral Mary Landry, who is leading the government’s response to the disaster, warned that if the well is not secured the spill could end up being one of the worst in U.S. history.
All of the people and businesses along the Gulf Coast are at risk. The owners of beach houses, condominiums, hotels, motels, and campgrounds are looking at a potentially huge loss of business for months if not years. The restaurants, souvenir shops, outlet mall, retail stores, miniature golf courses, amusements parks, beach equipment rental stores and more are also facing the same fate, as are the fisherman, boat owners, charter boat companies, guides and all those associated with the commercial seafood and sport fishing industries in Alabama.
