NEW ORLEANS (AP) - For fishermen, ice is a necessity. Without it on board, any fish caught would spoil.
Ice was hard to come by in the year since Hurricanes Katrina and Rita wrecked nearly every icehouse, dock and marina close to the Gulf of Mexico in southeast and southwest Louisiana.
Fishermen have had to drive hundreds of miles to load up on ice and other supplies they need to do their jobs. But they are getting a helping hand from the Shell Oil Co. and state agencies.
