As work continues offshore to contain the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, commercial fishermen in Louisiana, under a fishing ban, sit in port waiting to learn their fate. Many have spent their entire lives harvesting the oysters, fish, and shrimp that thrive in the Gulf. Their life savings are often tied up in boats and fishing gear. Jeff Swicord introduces us to one third-generation fisherman from Port Sulphur who fears he is about to lose both his livelihood and his heritage.
