SEAFOOD: Provides relative to shrimp harvesting

Summary

The law changes Louisiana’s shrimping rules so that licensed commercial shrimpers can start trawling in Vermilion Bay and the Cote Blanche Bays at 5:30 a.m. during open seasons, and it creates a narrow exception that permits night shrimping only in a defined area of Southwest Pass. The changes apply to inside waters of Vermilion Bay, East and West Cote Blanche Bays, and Atchafalaya Bay, with the night‑shrimps exception limited to a specific coordinate‑based zone.
