BP to scale back cleanup, how will fishermen support their families?

With incoming BP CEO Bob Dudley indicating the company will scale back its Gulf cleanup efforts, thousands of fishermen displaced from their livelihoods are frightened at the prospect of having no means of support. Their participation in the “Vessels of Opportunity” program by pulling boom and skimming crude at least has somewhat cushioned the blow of the shutdown of fishing in the Gulf. Many locals predicted that when the containment cap on the well appeared to work two weeks ago that BP would turn away from their cleanup duties. Some also believe that BP is significantly downplaying the continuing severity of the crisis.

Now what are they supposed to do?
