They have to release the undersized oysters in the same area they caught them in. They cannot be moved to another area and released.
LDWF doesn't want the oyster fishermen to release them where they cannot grow.

Ray....In your opinon, are they doing this? Send me a PM....if you want to keep it off the board. Do they just dump them in one big pile or do they drift and slowly dump them?

Are the oysters still alive when they release them?
