Agreed. I know these two industries can coexist but this disaster definitely highlights a conflict. Anytime there is a conflict there has to be a winner and a loser.

i would suspect that the # of commercial fisherman and trawlers << the oilfield related personnel.
it's not just people offshore -- it's the people working in the shops, the machine shops that supply individual service companies, the truckers that haul stuff to the docks, guys working on the boats, guys working the docks, and service hands.
the people that will be hurt by this are not BP, Chevron, Shell, Exxon -- it will be those guys. who while they may not get laid off, their hours / checks will likely be cut.
