State Agency Collaboration Keeps Oyster Harvest Safe
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) worked cooperatively with the
Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (LDHH) to replace boats and laboratory equipment damaged by
the hurricanes of 2005. LDHH’s Molluscan Shellfish Program uses this equipment to monitor water quality
in approximately 800 coastal locations to ensure that water quality is safe for shellfish harvesting.
