  • Photo Story..Like many citizens and industries in the Gulf Coast region, the lobster industry in Key West, Fl suffered greatly in 2004 and 2005 from the lasting effects of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. Many commercial lobster fishing operations in the Florida Keys are owned and run exclusively by individuals. Fishing is their way of life and sole source of income, so another poor season would mean certain financial ruin...This story follows lobsterman Josh Niklaus, as he makes his first trip of the 2006 season to check the contents of his lobster traps at sea.
