Photo by @tyronefoto (Tyrone Turner). The Battle family play with the newest member of their family, Levi, three months old, at their home in Pointe a la Hache, Louisiana. The predominantly African American fishing community along the east bank of the Mississippi River southeast of New Orleans was hard hit by hurricane Katrina in 2005, but even harder hit by the 2010 BP oil disaster. Since the spill, their traditional oyster beds have not come back. See the full story in the Nat Geo Proof blog "Struggling to Survive When the Oysters Are Gone". @natgeocreative @thephotosociety #katrinatenyears #bpoilspill #myneworleans #louisiana #pointealahache #plaquemines #family
