LSF seeks seafood industry input


Louisiana Seafood Future (LSF) is a collaborative effort of Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, Louisiana SeaGrant, Coastal Protection Restoration Authority, and the Governor's Office geared toward assisting the seafood industry in adapting to coastal change. The LSF is seeking input to help inform the initiative about adaptation strategies. LSF is asking members of the seafood industry to come together and discuss how to keep their businesses competitive and sustainable. In rounds of meetings throughout the coast, industry members will share ideas about how to adapt to coastal change and what they need to make those adaptations work. LSF wants to highlight adaptation strategies created by those most affected by coastal changes - the shrimpers, crabbers, oyster fishers, fin-fishers, dockworkers, and processors, all who are at the heart of our coastal seafood economy and culture. LSF also has an online survey, which is to be completed by May 19.
