I dont undersdtand why bp would deactivate boats when the oil is here in mississippi ,what about people that quit there jobs to help clean up this mess and no wyou deactivate them.The shrimpers are getting paid anyway since they lost there business,so why not let the others do the skimming ,and a real shrimper would not put his boat in that.
