After Oil Spill, Shrimpers Hope For Blessed Season (NPR)

From NPR's Morning Edition:

by Debbie Elliott


This past year has taken its toll on Kim and David Chauvin and their family's shrimping business. But earlier this month, they prepared for a brand new shrimp season.

Their community's annual Blessing of the Fleet is the traditional launch of shrimp season, when boats parade down the bayou and are blessed with a sprinkling of holy water.
