A 40 mile offshore oil slick from Mexico resumes northward drift toward Padre Island as winds push the spill. Shrimpers fear reduced harvests while tar balls reach Texas shores and officials warn conditions may keep the slick in the area. Ralph Rayburn of the Texas Shrimp Association notes the industry faces an unprecedented threat and Julius Collins cites this year’s harvest lagging about half of last year’s due to cold winter and heavy rains.
