Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation

As an act of conservancy, in April, 2011,  the state of Louisiana's Department of Wildlife and Fisheries reopened commercial and recreational fishing areas previously closed as a result of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill (LADWF 2013).  Doing this prevents the possibility of overpopulation due to a lack of human fishing after the crisis and secures the equilibrium of the species that are regularly fished in those waters (LADWF 2013).
