Not only will it affecting our commercial fishing and seafood industry but it will also affect tourism as well as our states economy. A statistic was released stating 80,000 jobs are tourism related and will have a huge impact if/when this oil hits us.

It seems they are still trying to save the well rather then looking at options that would stop it but could cause them to lose the well.

Re: oil is showing up here in alabama
It's terribly sad for all who love the Gulf areas. Very painful.
I sit here on "my" pristine Anna Maria Island in Florida contemplating where I'll fish in the backbay/flats areas in the next few days and I cannot wrap my brain around having those areas and our beaches covered in oil.

Re: oil is showing up here in alabama
I really feel for you guys being affected by this firsthand. To sit hopelessly and watch a tremendous natural resource get ruined for years really sucks.

Re: oil is showing up here in alabama
Its close enough to gulf shores now to smell.....and tar balls are supposedly washing ashore
Re: oil is showing up here in alabama
Truly am sorry. Not only for you, but all of us affected by this. It brings tears to my eyes when I see/hear about what's going on. We all share the same love for that body of water an all water connected to it.
Hope it gets better...

With the oil, and my home owners insurance being non-renewed for the second time in 9 years, it's time to move out of FL.
