Mexican oil spill advances threatening shrimp fishermen
A 40 mile long tongue of Mexican crude drifted off Padre Island as the Gulf spill resumes northward motion toward the Texas coast. Winds of 10 knots were forecast to continue, hindering shrimpers in Brownsville who report catch rates about half of last year. Coast Guard crews logged a 15 mile offshore sheen path from Brownsville to Port Mansfield with tar balls along Padre Island beaches and officials warned the threat persists despite no immediate beaching on Texas shores.
