Chasing the Louisiana Blue Crab
Photograph by Robert Caputo
Crabber T-Roy Borne of Golden Meadow, Louisiana, steers his boat as his father, Roy, and friend Jonathan Guillot help work his crab traps. A commercial crabber since 17, the 35-year-old Borne believes marsh loss has already affected his harvest. "Ten years ago it wasn't nothing to go out and catch 4,000 pounds [2,000 kilograms] of crabs," he says. Today he's lucky to get 1,400 pounds [640 kilograms] a day. "Without habitat for the young crabs to hide in, everything eats them," Borne says. "Shrimp and all the other seafood are going the same way."
