Disaster Hits Oyster Harvesting, Leaves Apalachicola Families in Dire Straits

September 26, 2012 - 6:00pm

Families are suffering -- many say "desperately" -- as the state continues to await a response from the Obama administration on whether to declare the region a fishery resources disaster. The bay has been hindered by severe drought, a reduction in fresh water and also self-inflicted wounds from the harvesting of immature oysters in recent, difficult times.
