Oil Spill Lost Income Information

Since the BP oilrig exploded and sank in April, those on the news have talked about the devastation to the businesses and environment of the Gulf Coast states, including Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. However, the people of this region of the country are going to face devastating consequences as well. The fishing industry has already taken a huge hit since commercial and recreation fishing grounds along the Gulf Coast have been closed. Vacationers are already cancelling their trips to the area, due to the looming threat that the oil could wash up on shore anytime. As the seafood and tourism industries suffer, the people directly and indirectly involved in them do as well.

With business and profits down, many companies will have to reduce employees, or decrease their hours in order to stay in business. For so many of the towns and cities along the coast, their main industry is either seafood or tourism. Both of these industries are directly at risk due to the spill. However, many of the businesses in the same towns are indirectly related to these industries, for example restaurants and retail stores. That means all of the individuals employed in these types of jobs are at risk of losing their paychecks and possibly the ability to support their families.
