Clean up after crawfish boil is vital to the future of marine life

As the most popular season of the year begins the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality is reminding crawfish connoisseurs to be sure to clean up properly after your boil to preserve other sea life. DEQ spokesperson Jean Kelly said never place shells or boil water into a ditch or waterway because it can seriously harm or even kill fish. “You want to take the solids out of the water and pour it down your drain if you’re connected to a sewer system because that’s treated,” said Kelly. When you dispose of boil water and/or seasoned shells into a storm drain or ditch it goes directly to a lake, river, or stream.
