Default Oil spill - the end of fresh Florida seafood?

Man, this looks SERIOUS.

http://cnmnewsnetwork.com/111283/oil...s-action-suit/

Connie works part time for a fresh seafood market in Panacea, and the owner (Debbie Logan) is really worried that her business will be dead without product to sell. And quite rightly so. This could dramatically affect all of Florida. Tourism will be dead because who the heck wants to walk on oil soaked sandy beaches or swim in oil covered water? Both commercial and sport fishing will also be affected. So with those all being socked on the chin, how much impact will that have on the money that tourism brings to this state? The economy already sucks as it is, so things go get very serious financially with the state of Florida.

Not to mention that I'm PERSONALLY going to wither away and die if I can't get freshly caught Gulf shrimp to eat..........

Oh yeah, last I heard they don't know how to stop the flow of oil and there is a possibility that the pipe could blow out completely, increasing the flow 10 fold...... Lovely.... We could be talking about a completely sterilized Gulf of Mexico and surrounding wetlands.

This sounds like a disaster unfolding before our very eyes.
