Once lucrative shrimp farms are dying, and the country's efforts to market itself as a tourist destination are undermined by images of poisoned rivers. And while it is doubtful that the Thi Vai river's chemical stew could actually eat through a steel hull, the threat that ships would not stop at the Go Dau port, delivered a clear message about the potential economic impact of pollution...
...harbor, most of the luxury yachts have left for safer moorings, while across the channel the massive floating oil rigs ready to be towed to sea have stood firm.

"This is one bayou that's not protected ... I'm sure we're going to get our turn...
Then, there's the question about his business as water overwhelms what remains of the land. "As far as shrimping goes," DeJean continues, "there's going to be more shrimp. But you'll have a lot of garbage to deal with. You'll have trees, like in the nets." His 12-hour shifts will be reduced to six or eight mainly "because you spend so much time getting trees out the nets." Given the shortage of fuel, when does he expect to return to work? "You're talking a couple weeks without power, before we can do anything...
