On April 17, 2026, a vessel struck a 54-inch sewage main in New Orleans' Industrial Canal — sending millions of gallons of raw sewage flowing into the waterway that feeds directly into Lake Pontchartrain. The Seabrook boat launch was shut down. Fishing, boating, and swimming were banned. And the damage to your livelihood? That didn't stop when the leak did.

If you fish, crab, or shrimp these waters and lost income, lost catch, or were forced off the water — you may be entitled to compensation.

We’re getting calls every day from businesses saying the same thing: buyers won’t touch Louisiana-labeled oysters.

When demand disappears overnight, it doesn’t just hurt—it shuts down livelihoods.

If your business has been impacted by the LOOP Oil Spill—whether it’s lost sales, canceled orders, or product you can’t move—you may be entitled to compensation.

This isn’t just about oysters. It’s about your operation, your people, and your future.
