The oil slick resulting from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill had an adverse effect on Omega Protein ’s ability to operate in the fishing grounds east of the Mississippi River Delta , near its Moss Point , Mississippi facility . Regulators closed areas there to commercial fishing . The company developed additional contingency response plans to move its vessels from Morgan City , Louisiana farther west to its Abbeville and Cameron facilities should regulators close a greater portion of the fishing grounds . Following the spill , Omega Protein filed a claim with the Gulf Coast Claims Facility ( “ GCCF ” ) to be reimbursed for costs and lost profits resulting from the incident . The GCCF administers funds paid by BP in connection with reimbursements for claims caused by the Deepwater Horizon disaster
