Agents assigned to the Oyster Strike Force, while on patrol in Bayou Grand Calliou, found a vessel dredging oysters on a private lease without the lease owner's permission.
Agents cited Santiago Flores Martinez, 47, and Aranda Fernando, 31, both from Houma, and Lazaro Garcia Zepeta, 45, from Montegut, for unlawfully taking oysters from a private lease and failure to have written permission. Agents returned all the oysters contained in the dredges and on the vessel to the private lease.
