Scallop fishing trawler the Cornelis-Gert captained by Jondy Ward tied up on the quay in Le Havre before her departure. The boat remains at the centre of an international fishing row. The boat was detained for a week and freed after an administrative hearing earlier in the day. The boat sailed out of the harbour later that evening. <br />

  • 21 May 2010. Grand Isle, Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. .BP Macondo Well disaster. Clean up crews contracted by BP commence the process of clearing oil, (and journalists where they can) from the beaches. Oil washes ashore in greater concentrations than previously seen on the once pristine beaches of Grand Isle. The economic and environmental impact is devastating with shrimp boats tied up, vacation rentals and charter boat fishing trips cancelled as police chase tourists from the beaches just two hours drive from New Orleans..Oil from the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe is evading booms laid out to stop it thanks in part to the dispersants which means the oil travels at every depth of the Gulf and washes ashore wherever the current carries it. .Photo credit; Charlie Varley.

Fishing boats tied up at Jean Lafitte just south of New Orleans. The region is strategically vital to the American oil and gas industry and a major player in America's seafood industry. BP's catastrophic oil spill continues to spew a black tide of death which continues to encroach upon everything in the region. The economic impact is devastating with shrimp boats tied up, vacation rentals and charter boat fishing trips are cancelled. The only real business is cleaning up big oil's disasterous screw up.

From Barataria Bay to Grand Isle. The bay is devoid of life, no fishermen, no shrimp boats, even most of the birds have left. The environmental and economic impact is devastating with shrimp boats tied up, vacation rentals and charter boat fishing trips cancelled the only business for shrimpers is loading and laying boom and working for big oil. Oil from the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe is evading booms laid out to stop it thanks in part to the dispersants which means the oil travels at every depth of the Gulf and washes ashore wherever the current carries it. <br />

The fragile grass lands perched at the mouth of Mississippi delta is all that seperates land from the Gulf of Mexico. The region is strategically vital to the American oil and gas industry and a major player in America's seafood industry. BP's catastrophic oil spill continues to spew a black tide of death which continues to encroach upon everything in the region. The economic impact is devastating with shrimp boats tied up, vacation rentals and charter boat fishing trips are cancelled. The only real business is cleaning up big oil's disasterous screw up.
