As a result of the explosion and failure of the rigs blowout preventer an estimated 25,000 barrels of oil a day are being dumped into the Gulf of Mexico. The Department of the Interior has warned that it could take as long as 90 days to stop the leak; this will result in an estimated 95,000,000 gallons of oil being released into the Gulf of Mexico.

WARNING TO GULF COAST PROPERTY OWNERS AND BUSINESSMAN:

Oil, tarballs, dead fish and birds all get washed up on the shores and the oil slick inteferes in activities such as fishing, sailing, swimming, ... The local tourist industry suffers because tourists are not interested in coming to a coastal area where they cannot do the activities as listed above. Industries that rely on clean seawater for routine operations can also suffer because operations have to be stopped while the water is cleaned.

Effect on local industries

The fishing industry suffers badly when an oil spill occurs. Firstly because the fish are often covered in oil, or have swallowed oil making them poisonous. Also a large number of fish die, decreasing the number of fish that could have possibly been caught. It is also difficult for boats to sail because the oil can damage them and the devices they use to catch the fish.

The impacts on Louisiana and Gulf Coast fisheries will range from the immediate to the long-term, and many scientists in the state are simply watching the situation unfold, since there are no examples of an oil spill of this magnitude on the Gulf Coast.

"The comparison is that there is no comparison," said Anne Rheams, executive director of the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation "You're talking about multiple habitats with multiple species depending on those habitats."

Although there have been no closures, oyster grounds are likely to be the first to shut down because of health concerns. Because they are locked in place, oysters cannot flee oily water in the way that some full-grown shrimp, crabs and finfish can.

The newly spawned larvae of shrimp and crabs -- the catch of the future -- face the greatest risk from oil because they are largely immobile and are likely to be closer to the surface.

In a state where seafood not only generates income but is at the center of culture, the effects are far-reaching.

"I'm afraid that the supply end of it is going to be impacted to a level that we have never seen in our lifetime," said Frank Brigtsen, chef and co-owner of Brigtsen's Restaurant in New Orleans. "If this thing comes into the mouth of the river and up to the east side in Breton Sound, that is half of our production, half of our fishing grounds. And it's a very fertile half, too."
