Fishermen Sign On to Clean Up Oil
Fishermen Sign On to Clean Up Oil

VENICE, La. About 1,000 angry and frustrated fishermen packed an
elementary school gymnasium here Friday afternoon. In a cruel occupational
twist, they were seeking employment with the company they blame for an oil
spill that may wipe out their industry this year and beyond.
Life in this coastal community centers on seafood mullet, shark, shrimp
and oysters. From May to December, dozens of boats haul shrimp here from
the Gulf of Mexico. But aside from two days of fishing allowed this week
ahead of the approaching oil slick, the shrimp season has been suspended.
So the fishermen came to receive training in how to clean up the oil spill
that was creeping up on the nearby coastline. They were hoping to be hired
by BP, the company blamed for the spill and responsible for cleanup
efforts.
Either the seafood industry or the oil industry thats the only jobs down
here, so I guess Im trying to move from seafood to oil today, said Bernel
Prout, 55, a fisherman and Venice native.
Fridays training session was led by local firefighters and law enforcement
officials and attended by representatives from BP, the parish government
and the local fishermens association.
BP has said it will hire as many local residents as possible to clean the
beaches and distribute booms through the surrounding marshes and
waterways.
But the fishermen said they were reeling from the loss of revenue. They
were not told how many would be hired, at what wages, or when. But they
were asked to fill out forms listing their names, contact information and
available equipment and skills.
This is not our fault, Mr. Prout said. Its the fault of the oil company.
The mood inside the crowded, hot gymnasium was one of confusion and
growing anxiety.
