The Oil and Drilling Industry has destroyed portions of the Atchafalaya Basin fisheries that have been traditionally fished by generations of Louisiana crawfishman. The Oil and Drilling Industry’s environmental destruction to the Atchafalaya Basin is due to the creation of spoil banks that act like damns, prevent water oxygenation, and kill whole fisheries. The Oil and Drilling Industry is responsible not only for huge economic losses to Louisiana Basin crawfishman, but also to the loss of the Cajun fishermen’s cultural way of life as these Cajun crawfishman are forced to seek other forms of employment.
