I was a bit disappointed with the turnout from SWLA. The oyster folks has several reps, but the LC CCA pres was the only SWLA angler who made the drive. I know the location and time is often not convenient, but even a fraction of the turnout we had for the "State of the Lake" meeting could have an impact over time.
They have these meetings every month or so and there is always a public comment time at the end. Even if there are no Calcasieu related items on the agenda, having a few people from SWLA at each meeting and reminding the Commission that we want to see more scientific management and we want to see greater consideration given to oysters as essential habit and not just a commercial resource to be exploited would have an effect over time.
