This is a shot Chris Bonebrake took when we toured the docks at Bayou Labatre. Though Biloxi was crushed, one should not forget that many along the coast lost much more than their homes and possessions. The community in Bayou Labatre lost their livelihoods! The whole town was involved in fishing, whether they actually went out and brought in fish and shrimp, or whether they worked in the processing plants cleaning and packing. All of that is now stifled. Boats were destroyed, but more than that, the Gulf is now toxic. Thus, this community will need continued support to recover, and they are just one small community along that coastline!  Posted by Picasa
