Yet again, Louisiana only received 4.9% of CARES Act fisheries funding. $12.4 million of the $255 million allotment. Abysmal. It’s like déjà vu for Louisiana’s fisheries. https://t.co/LvZ0TrnkLw — PolitiTweet.org

But if there is a rushed recalibration that does not use the most accurate and up-to-date data, this would make the case the current data collection by the five Gulf States is one of the most accurate data collection networks ever established. — PolitiTweet.org

The letter raises the point that because of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Management and Conservation Act (MSA) & the Modern Fish Act, there should be accurate data collection used for recalibration – especially with only 2 months before the opening of the 2021 red snapper season. — PolitiTweet.org

Years of working toward these wins will pay off for our conservation efforts, get anglers some more time on the water, and more red snapper in the ice chest for good eating. https://t.co/pDv8ympvSD — PolitiTweet.org

This just announced Gulf of Mexico Great Red Snapper Count is going to help us improve fishing opportunities by cutting back on the strict fishing seasons and two-fish limit, putting the reels in the hands of our anglers more often. https://t.co/pDv8ympvSD — PolitiTweet.org

Today's announced red snapper count proves previous studies were poorly advised. The new reports indicate red snapper populations in U.S. coastal waters are 110 million red snapper – roughly three times more than previously estimated (approx. 36 million). https://t.co/pDv8ympvSD — PolitiTweet.org

The Lake Pontchartrain Basin is one of our state’s best assets: a home base for families, businesses, boating, and of course some great fishing. But time after time, the Lake takes the brunt of the high-water drainage that makes its way down to LA from as far as Canada. (2/4) — PolitiTweet.org
