General Information The Gulf Of Mexico, Fishing, And What Was One Of Americas Greatest National Resources

Vacation rental properties in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana draw hundreds of thousands of visitors each summer. This multi million dollar industry is now suffering the largest number of cancellations in its history.
 

Louisiana is also America's top producer of shrimp, oysters, crabs, crawfish and alligators, shipping out 30 percent all the seafood in the lower 48 states, says Ewell Smith, executive director of the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board. That adds up to an economic impact of $2.4 billion a year.

Louisiana fishermen landed 90.4 million pounds of shrimp in 2008, or 44 percent of U.S. production, and 207 million pounds of oysters, or 36 percent of the U.S. total, Smith says. Any hiccup in production opens the door to foreign competition, which already accounts for 80 percent of the nation's seafood consumption.

In addition we have 10,000's of recreational property owners, waterfront property owners, vacation rental property owners, and or fishing camp owners who may have suffered huge property losses with this catastrophic event.
