CJ, It is the impact on the oysters, shrimp and fish in the marshes. Marshes are nursery areas for almost everything. Given the degree that Louisiana's economy depends on fishing, that could be a serious blow. Yes, I had that in mind as well. But who knows? Maybe the impact won't be all that bad after all? Then for those boats that survived the hurricane, "shrimpin' is easy!" (tm Forrest Gump) Tenchusatsu

Big deal, so some species of fish go extinct." That is not the big concern. It is the impact on the oysters, shrimp and fish in the marshes. Marshes are nursery areas for almost everything.

Given the degree that Louisiana's economy depends on fishing, that could be a serious blow Don't they normally pump out the water into some kind of flowing water, such as Mississippi river, rather than to a stationary water? I think the concer about this water is vastly overblown. Whatever is in the water, is in fairly low concentration. Say 1 in 1,000? It is not like pure sewave or oil. When it gets pumped out, it is at a rate that will take several days or weeks, so the concentration of where it will end up will again be 1 in 1,000 or a lot more, like 1 in 1,000,000 if it gets pumped into the flow of Mississippi river.
