Thanks for sharing this. Please message your rep this morning to support the 4 bills that regulate the menhaden reduction industry. The 22 ft depth buffer is huge.

Done, hoping for a good outcome.

The 22’ depth would be, to me, one of the greatest wins the public has ever received from the legislature to protect our natural resources. I saw the pogey boats last year within 1/4 mile from land last summer- it was sickening to me.
To show how HUGE the 22’ depth is- here are a couple screenshots from Navionics 22’ to land.

Pushing them out over a mile would be a huge win!

I was going to post the link but saw you already had, so thank you.
After the WLF Commission held its vote a few months ago, Rep Joe Orgeron contacted me and said he got my name from the WLF on a list of people who submitted comments to the buffer reduction proposal…..and only 600 people submitted comments. That’s f’d up. The apathy in our state is terrible. If more voters contacted their legislators, it damn sure would make a difference.

I think that is pretty good for a WLF commission hearing that most people have zero knowledge of.

There’s a guy on FB who posts pics of the beach after they’ve caught all the pogies. And there’s pics of dead dolphins on the beach at grand isle.
So the common man goes to jail if he kills a dolphin yet pogie boats do it all the time and not only get away with it but also get a tax break and laugh their way to the bank.
No wonder why people move away from this place

The 22' buffer bill just failed 45 to 48. Our state is such a shite hole.

HB855 was always a long shot. At least they passed the reporting bill, AIS location bill, and increased fines (which doesn't do much since they didn't touch the 1/4 mile buffer).
