after reading jim louis's post about eating oyster po-boys i started thinking about where the oysters came from. they would have come out of the gulf of mexico just as they were prior to katrina? then i began pondering the water quality in the gulf. time line : levee breaks, floods nola. levees patched, black flood water including petroleum, lead and other heavy metals are pumped back into lake pontchartrain which runs down into the gulf of mexico which is where the oysters live.
