Mississippi Gulf Coast Oil Spill Information
Mississippi is facing an economic as well as an environmental catastrophe due to the BP oil spill.
According to one group of scientists, “Mississippi also has the most valuable aquaculture industry in the country, producing food fish, baitfish, crawfish, and oysters.” Mississippi’s fishing industry is the second largest of all the Gulf Coast states. But all of those involved in the seafood industry are in danger of losing their businesses and their jobs.
BP has said it could take two to three months to get down to the right depth and stop the leaks. In that time, it is possible that half a million barrels of oil will spill into the Gulf. That is almost twice the amount that the Exxon Valdez spilled 21 years ago in Alaska when it ran aground.
All of the people and businesses along the Gulf Coast are at risk. All of those involved in tourism are facing a huge economic impact because of the oil spill, as are the fisherman, boat owners, charter boat companies, guides and all those associated with the commercial and sports fishing industries in Mississippi.
