Lives forever in recovery in the Gulf

In the Gulf:

By Rick Jervis, USA TODAY
DELACROIX ISLAND, La. — The sorting tables at Tino Mones Seafood, an open-air crab broker in this southern St. Bernard Parish fishing town, usually are crawling this time of year with snapping blue crabs. Workers typically haul in one load after another, more than 20,000 pounds a day.
Not this year.
