I think that this will affect the economy for people that catch fish for a living. I think that the oil spill could limit the fish population and other wildlife. If the oil was to reach the land it could harm more than just wildlife in the ocean but, wildlife on land. If it was to reach the land it could also affect humans and the way they live. Also, most of the oysters and shrimp come from the Gulf and the prices will raise to the limit in supply. I think that offshore drilling should still be able to happen but, with proper safety precautions. I think that gas and gasoline prices will still continue to raise because of the cost of the oil spill in the Gulf.
