The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, 50 miles off the Louisiana coast, created uncertainty in Louisiana and the surrounding states’ populations. Many of the local’s lives revolve around the oil and seafood industries, including the life of Terry Latiolais, a very small seafood business owner. Catching seafood and providing for his family consumes the life of Mr. Latiolais. When asked if he takes vacations with his family, he shamelessly states, “we did once.†Terry traps seafood in Lake Peigneur and the bayous near Delcambre, LA, where he begins each day early and ends them late in a tireless effort to survive. At 32 years old, Terry has five children with his wife Linda. The Latiolais’s crab catch was significantly down in 2010 from the previous year when Terry describes catching five or six bins of crabs. In 2010, he was lucky if two bins were filled. “It’s like a chain reaction,†he says of the oil spill’s impact on his business. Terry’s store sales also dipped, as many customers would not buy because of contamination fears. Terry says it costs him $60 to go out each day, but in 2010 he was lucky if he was making $60 from sales. Terry Latiolais rarely leaves the local area, so his perception of the oil spill only came from the news media and his bank account. He and his wife remain uncertain of their future, but can only keep working and dealing with making ends meet. They have started over before because of hurricanes and are ready to face whatever challenge is next.
