Marina Loss of Business Information
Thousands of people work at marinas along the Gulf Coast. Many people think of marinas as just a place to dock a boat. But that simply isn’t true. Marinas provide so many different things for boat owners and vacationers. For boat owners, they provide storage, fuel and cleaning. For vacationers, they provide boat rentals, charters, fishing guides, dolphin cruises, dinner cruises, jet-ski and pontoon rentals, and more. Many marinas even have restaurants, bars, and stores.
The oil that continues to leak into the waters of the Gulf Coast has the potential to put the marinas out of business and the marina employees out of work. Vacationers are already canceling trips. Fishing grounds along the coast from Louisiana to Florida are already being closed and more closures are expected as the slick spreads. Depending on how much oil leaks, how far the oil slick spreads, and how long the cleanup takes, it could be years before the marinas recover.
