Yeah but...

70% of the nation's shrimp comes from the Louisiana fishery, if I remember the statistics right, and then there's the possibility that the oil slick continues unabated, rounds the Florida peninsula and gets into the Gulf Stream. There goes the SE U.S. Atlantic fisheries.

Think I'm joking? If the containment dome doesn't work, one of the next procedures they want to try will take 3 months to get done. The damage is far from localized and far from over.
