Shrimped

Town's shrimpers may be sunk

The shrimping industry of Bayou La Batre may be dead. Numerous boats were wrecked by Katrina, but that's the least of it. The processing plants without which the shrimp boats are useless were damaged, apparently beyond repair. They could rebuild, but the money just isn't there anymore. It was a dying industry; Katrina might just have been the last straw.
