NEW ORLEANS – Sunday marked the four year anniversary of the BP oil spill.
The spill sent nearly 5-million barrels of oil spewing into the water. The Deepwater Horizon burst into flames late on April 20th 2010. Eleven workers that were on that rig were never found.
Meanwhile, underwater, oil continued to gush from the BP operated well for close to 90 days. The well was not capped until mid-July.
At the Westwego Seafood Market families are buying the seafood they plan to enjoying with loved ones this Easter Sunday. Suppliers say they’re happy the customers are still there, but they say four years after the BP oil spill the shrimp, and the crabs are not what they used to be. They say most of all they are still struggling to come up with enough seafood.
