Many in the maritime industries say even though the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion, fire and consequent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has not yet spread to the South Texas coast, its effects are still being felt.

Seafood wholesalers, charter boat owners and other boat operators, as well as fuel and ice suppliers, have all been adversely affected by the oil spill.
