Get our free mobile app The Louisiana Legislature kicked off their session yesterday and among the nine hundred, or so, bills and resolutions they are considering is something near and dear to every outdoorsman in the Bayou State. Along with increased gas taxes and the possibility of the legalization of recreational marijuana usage, is a proposed increase to the cost of hunting and fishing licenses in Louisiana. While the specifics of the proposal have not been made available to the public as of yet, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Secretary Jack Montoucet says  the increases are projected to net the state an additional $17 million in annual sales.

Lafayette engineers help restore island, save brown pelicans

Lafayette Daily Advertiser A stretch of land in the western portion of Calcasieu Lake known as Rabbit Island has been shrinking for decades, the tide washing away more than land each year. The marsh island in Cameron Parish is the only brown pelican rookery in southwest Louisiana. Once 200 acres of land, it is down to just 30 acres and continues to lose nearly half of the brown pelican eggs laid each year to the tide.   About a decade ago, more than 1,000 pelicans nested on the island, but that number dwindled to 400 by 2018, prompting environmental agencies and engineers including some from Acadiana to work together to reverse that trend and protect Louisiana s official state bird.
