Lagniappe Newsletters
The Lagniappe fisheries newsletter focuses on two objectives, bringing the latest fisheries and fisheries related research to the public and printing all commercial and recreational fisheries rules changes as they occur. As the pace of fisheries science speeds up, the need for informed input by fisheries users into management systems has increased. Lagniappe facilitates that input by translating the latest fisheries research results from technical language into conversational language, without losing accuracy. The rapid pace of change is illustrated by the increasing complexity of fisheries resource harvesting rules and the rapidity with which they change. With its monthly printing schedule, Lagniappe is committed to announcing all rules changes that affect Louisianans, both in saltwater and freshwater.
