An area priest has urged people to continue to purchase Gulf seafood to prevent a collapse in the industry.
"If people want to be proactive and directly help the fishermen, (they should) make a conscious effort to buy wild-caught Gulf shrimp," Father Sinclair Oubre, of the Diocese of Beaumont, told the Catholic News Service. "Buying and requesting shrimp caught in Gulf-coast areas will be a big help."

Eat the fish from the Gulf so Gulf Fishermen keep their livelihood? Would these Fishermen feed their catch to their family? I wouldn't and all I have to do is buy it.
I liked this comment:
Well, there's a leap of faith if I've ever heard one. Eat poison because the fishermen need help. Has anyone told Fr. Oubre and Bishop Morin that there are millions of gallons of chemicals in the Gulf? Even if you don't see or smell oil, you cannot detect the chemicals which some say are more poisonous than the oil. Thanks, Catholic Church, for implying that God thinks the water's okay. I feel as sorry as anyone for those who live off the sea. But don't we have to use a little science in determining whether we should eat poison?
