"JJ Creppel stood in his baseball cap and white rubber boots and threw his small net into the muddy bayou. Pickups and cars zoomed nearby along Hwy 23, the only road connecting oil-wrecked lower Plaquemines Parish to the wealthier suburbs of New Orleans. Creppel hauled in the net and flung the small catch onto the boat launch. A few baby pogies flopped on the gravel, among them a few small shrimp. 'Not much here,' Creppel said as he picked them up and flung them into a bucket. " Rocky Kistner writes for the Natural Resources Defense Council October 4, 2010.
