Shrimping was Phan Plork's passion, and his livelihood until an oil gusher fouled the waters off the Louisiana coast. Now, Plork, 42, a Cambodian refugee, goes out on the Gulf of Mexico to lay boom as part of the cleanup effort. BP pays $1,500 a day for his boat and crew, half what he made before. "I'd rather shrimp," he said. "The sooner the better."
