Crawfishermen and fishermen are concerned about a bill passing through the legislature that will put restrictions on public waterways.
On Wednesday, the bill was presented in the House Natural Resources Committee and passed 9-3.
“If the voters vote in favor of it, it’s going to change the Louisiana constitution, and what it is going to do is it’s going to allow the state to enter into boundary agreements with riparian land owners to put boundaries in the water. Water we are already supposed to have the right of free use to,” President of the Louisiana Crawfish Producers Association Jody Meche said.
