Shrimpers separate their catch at a processing plant at Joshua's Marina in Buras, Louisiana
Shrimpers separate their catch at a processing plant at Joshua's Marina in Buras, Louisiana May 17, 2010. While some local fishermen have been hired by BP to assist in oil spill clean-up efforts others wait on a list for possible employment and continue to fish the bay side of the coastal waters while restrictions are lifted. Energy giant BP said on Monday it was capturing about a fifth of the estimated oil gushing from its ruptured undersea Gulf of Mexico well and hoped to increase that amount before trying to fully stop the flow later in the week.
