Participants Needed for Elmer’s Island Survey
Posted: 5/16/03

Image: Elmer's Island SurveyLouisiana Sea Grant and the LSU AgCenter are requesting your participation in an on-line survey regarding the coastal property known as Elmer’s Island. Until its closure in 2002, this 1700 acre coastal tract in lower Lafourche Parish was a popular fishing and camping destination for decades of Louisiana citizens and out of state tourists. A legislative resolution has been introduced requesting that the State of Louisiana purchase the property, but significant questions remain if the land is to be acquired for public use.

Your participation in this survey will provide valuable information for decision-makers engaged in this issue, while helping us to better understand the general economic and environmental preferences for recreational activities in coastal Louisiana. Input is needed from a wide array of interest groups, including: fishermen, campers, hikers, crabbers, photographers, birders, boaters, sunbathers, educators, naturalists, commercial developers, state and federal resource management personnel, and representatives of the coastal tourism sector. To participate, simply click on the link below and follow the instructions. Completion of the survey requires approximately 15 minutes.
