It was on April 20th that an explosion occurred
on the Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig in the Gulf of Mexico, resulting in an economic
and environmental disaster for the states and communities in the surrounding area
since then. As the days in the gulf
continue to number, the economic and environment effects continue to expand. I had the opportunity to speak
with two residents from the Gulf of Mexico to see how the oil spill has
directly affected their communities and businesses over the past three
months. Captain Dan Adams is a charter
boat captain for By Request Charters,
located out of Dunedin, Florida. Aimée Dominique
is a clinical social worker from Lafayette, Louisiana.
