There are many jobs in the gulf that will be effected by this and not just fishing. If you think about "just the fishing" for a moment. With all those guys being shut down it will effect all the other local businesses they help to support...I.E. Restaurants, Grocery Stores, Gas Stations, Hotels, and on and on it goes. If the fishermen are shut down thats a lot of money those guys arent spending. It will have a ripple effect on the local economy. I really find it amazing that after all these years they didnt have a better back up plan in place to shut this pipeline down. I bet they will going forward. But the damage will already be done. It really bothers me to think how much oil has gushed out that pipe.
