Does the oil spill put seafood restaurants at risk?

Many popular seafood restaurants in New Orleans depend heavily on the sale of their oysters. The looming oil slick off the coast of Louisiana is posing a huge threat to the oyster industry in Louisiana and in all surrounding areas. But oysters isn't all that is at risk, all seafood in New Orleans is at risk and will certainly be effected heavily by the oil rig explosion that occurred miles off the coast of the shoreline. Nearly 40% of all seafood that is used by restaurants in the U.S comes from the Gulf of Mexico. The oil spill severely limits the number of fishing spots off the coast and will surely put many hundreds to thousands of fisherman out of work for now.

This oil spill is greatly impacting all of the coastline along the gulf of Mexico. I think that this is a cry and shame for all of the wildlife off the coast to be tortured like this due to our negligence to saving the environment. BP should have a lot of guilt for killing so many animals and putting so many people out of work. Now the government will have to step in and enforce all the safety hazards and other ways to help them with their safety. It's too bad to see all these home town restaurants and other businesses be put at risk for one companies negligence and foul play.
