Louisiana Fall Shrimp Season Opens in Portion of Zone 2
Posted:
7/25/05
The fall
inshore shrimp season will open in that portion of Shrimp
Management Zone 2 from the eastern shore of South Pass of
the Mississippi River to the Atchafalaya River Ship Channel
at Eugene Island as delineated by the channel red buoy line
at sunrise on Monday, Aug. 1, 2005 and close on Dec. 20, 2005
at sunset.
Shrimpers
should be advised that the remaining portion of Zone 2 as
well as additional state waters may soon reopen to shrimping
provided additional biological data indicate that the majority
of shrimp reach marketable sizes. Unless the Louisiana Department
of Wildlife and Fisheries utilizes its temporary authority
to reopen other state inside waters, season dates for the
fall inshore shrimp season in Zones 1 and 3 will be considered
by the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission (LWFC)
at its Aug. 4 meeting scheduled for 9:30 am at the Louisiana
Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) building in Baton
Rouge.
