Big Lake Oyster assessment

[Ray]

News reports say Oyster prices are falling this year due to the BP/Transocean i
ncident shutting down a lot of SW La.'s oyster harvest and fears of tainted Oysters.
And, Hurricane Ike wiping out a lot of Galveston Bay's Oyster reefs.
Hopefully these issues won't jumpstart a niche market for Big Lake Oysters. Low
prices might deter some Oyster fishermen who don't rely on Oysters for a major
portion of their income.
