The Shorthorn staff
Biology senior Jonathan Lam has
family in Mississippi who own a
seafood business on the coast, where
the cost of shrimp, oysters and other
seafood has shot up.
A remolded blowout preventer
was installed atop British Petroleum’s plugged well late Friday, but
the effects from the oil are still being
felt.
“The prices have skyrocketed, it’s
harder to get shrimp and we had
to change suppliers,” Lam said.
“As
demand goes up, so does prices.
Now
everyone is going to the same supplier.
”
British Petroleum’s Deepwater
Horizon oil rig explosion in the
Gulf of Mexico released about 200
million gallons of oil into the Gulf.
Oil from the gulf is suffocating
the seafood business on the coast
and according to the National Science Foundation, it’s difficult to project the long-term damage to the
environment.
