Fisheries Information Resource Now Available
June 12, 2003
Louisiana
Sea Grant and the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center
recently created a new, comprehensive commercial and recreational
fisheries resource. Go to http://www.seagrantfish.lsu.edu
to find information on:
- Louisiana
aquatic species
- Fishing
gear
- Fish habitats
- Fishery
regulations
- Fishery
management issues
- Fishery
socio-economic issues
- Fishery
and seafood experts
The site is
searchable, and most publications are free, and available electronically
or by simple order.
The first
goal of the website’s creators was to provide a downloadable
archive of the popular fisheries newsletter, Lagniappe, written
by Sea Grant Extension Fisheries Specialist Jerald Horst. Every
issue since the newsletter’s inception in 1977 can be accessed
online or downloaded as a PDF file. Additional fisheries-related
information aquaculture, current fisheries and habitat issues
enhances the range of available information.
This Web site
is designed as a resource for Louisiana and Gulf Coast commercial
and recreational fishermen, sports and outdoors writers, and all
others with related interests. The creators welcome suggestions
for additions that can improve the site.
