3 bills to improve Gulf menhaden management and limit damage caused by foreign-owned industrial menhaden fishing companies have been signed into law in Louisiana, thanks to legislative pushes by Reps Cox, Zeringue, and Joseph Orgeron District 54 State Representative and overwhelming support from recreational fishing and conservation advocacy organizations.

The laws will add accountability by increasing fines for nearshore fishing violations, enhancing pogy boat tracking capabilities, and improving fishery oversight by publicizing menhaden harvest reports. TRCP thanks everyone involved in securing more steps toward modernizing the menhaden fishery into a more sustainable, ecosystem-based fishery.
