Dock, Pier, and Boat Ramp Loss of Business Information
The owners of docks, piers, and boat ramps in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida are facing huge business losses because of the oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico. Following the explosion of the BP oilrig, fishing grounds from Louisiana to Florida are already being closed. Additional closings are likely considering the oil continues to leak and no way to stop the leak has been found. The employees of these businesses are also facing an uncertain future.
In addition to fishing ground closures, vacationers are also canceling trips to the area. The uncertainty over the magnitude of the oil spill has forced vacationers to change their summer travel plans. So, even areas not yet affected are facing business losses. Depending on how much oil leaks, how far the oil slick spreads, and how long the cleanup takes, it could be years before these companies are back to business as usual.
