Oysterman: 'Oil monster will gulp us up'
NBC Field Notes

Third-generation Louisiana oysterman Mitch Jurisich fears losing the ecosystem he relies on for a living to the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

"We're facing sort of a grim reaper. You know – it's sitting out there – it's a big monster – sitting out there waiting to gulp us up," says Jurisich.

"How much of this can we handle? Waiting and wondering what tomorrow is going to bring."
