The skipper is reported to be greatly distressed. He called the coast guard immediately after it happened. A lot of people here are pretty shocked and saddened.

They called 911 and reported it to the police,

Water keepers patrol local waterways and prosecute polluters. Essentially, they act as the community's coast guard.

We don't know 100 percent but we do believe it's Luna.

I have faith the men and women of the Coast Guard will immediately rise to the challenge and see the people hit by Katrina through until the storm has truly calmed.

The Coast Guard has long been known as the armed service that gets more done for less.
