LA Wildlife Department To Close Two Seafood Seasons
Two seafood seasons are coming to an end tomorrow (Thurs.) - for the most part.
State Wildlife and Fisheries authorities say they'll close public oyster areas east of the Mississippi River, while the fall shrimp season will close in most southeast Louisiana waters. Wildlife and Fisheries Secretary Robert Barham says Breton and Chandeleur, as well as some other outside waters, will remain open to shrimpers.
