ON SATURDAY, the catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has reached the shoreline of Louisiana, affecting the fisheries, even as attempts to limit its devastation and particularly, its reach to the ecologically fragile wetlands of Louisiana continues.
Fishermen around the place are absolutely irritated as catastrophic oil spill along the Gulf Coast did not allowed them to work on Saturday and disturbed their livelihoods. As people are working near the incident area, fisherman were not allowed to enter the area.
On Saturday the things at Louisiana raised worries of an ecological and financial catastrophe rivaling Katrina, as oil was seen at the top of Louisiana shores. An official at the spot said that “hundreds of boats have been deployed to lay thousands of feet of inflatable boom in an effort to keep the Gulf Coast oil spill from reaching shore”.
The Coast Guard estimates that about 200,000 gallons of oil are spreading out each day since the April 20 explosion that killed 11 workers. The oil spill has enlarged exponentially in size, from 1000 barrels a day to 5000 barrels of petrol leaked each passing day. Obama will be keen to avoid the mistakes which the former President George W. Bush did at the time disastrous of the storm at his time.
