Heavy sacks of uncertainty

Last Wednesday 7-21-10, I filmed in Lake Méchant where the Voisin family of Houma harvests their crop of oysters for their very successful Motivatit Seafood company. Motivatit employs a lot of local people as well as many Central American immigrants who depend on a steady source of income. I found the company to be a stellar example of old fashioned American work ethic and proper resource management.

Dr. Doug Inlkey of the National Wildlife Federation was on hand to learn all that he could about the BP Oil Spill's effects on the Gulf Coast Oyster industry. It was a pleasure to work with Doug and I appreciated his usual passion and pride in helping our situation.
