Clam Industry Loss of Business Information
The clam industry along the Gulf Coast is a vital source of income for many businesses and individuals. In Cedar Key, for example, clams yielded $45 million in dockside and wholesale sales in 2007 alone. A drop in sales, potentially followed by contaminated water, would be catastrophic for the clam growers, harvesters, and distributors. “Even if we get a little bit of oil and a little bit of media coverage, we’re done,” said Brian Mattice a Cedar Key clam grower and charter boat owner.
Since the explosion and sinking of the BP and Transocean oil rig in April of 2010, hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil a day is leaking into the waters off the Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida coasts. Thousands of businesses and people along the Gulf of Mexico are involved in the clam industry. Boat owners and their crews, along with warehouses, packagers, distributors, and all the others involved in getting clams from the water to the grocery stores and restaurants are facing huge economic losses.
