Oil Problem

Oil company BP says it has resumed pumping oil to a ship on the surface after a weekend setback that halted efforts to siphon off the crude spewing from a damaged well at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. successful, the technique will capture most of the oil that is pouring out of the well. The well has been spewing an estimated 210,000 gallons, or 5,000 barrels, of light sweet crude a day into the Gulf since the sinking of the drill platform Deepwater Horizon in late April.

Well I believe it is about time that their has been a solution to this oil leaking problem. It seems that someone out there would of came up with an idea to solve this problem way before this disaster happened. its has been weeks since they finally came up with this idea to solve the leaking oil problem. This just now starting to help the environmental problems that will hurt the ocean life in the gulf.

This week, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration began restricting for 10 days commercial and recreational fishing along the Gulf Coast, an area that spans about 6,800 miles. Louisiana closed areas designated for special shrimping on Tuesday.As officials are scrambling to contain the mushrooming leak, some restaurant owners are fretting about what it would mean for their businesses if oysters, shrimp, crab and finfish were not as available.

I believe that the resteraunts may have a problem on thier hands. With no seagfood comiin g in they are going to have to go off of what they already have caught and if they run out this will hurt bussniuss for all resteraunt and fishing industry in the gulf area. If this oil spill continues the way it does hurting sea life this will hurts the seafood industry in the gulf.
