I am curious as to how the oyster fishermen will destroy the lake and kill the reefs!!! There have been oyster fishermen in that lake since the first people settled in Cameron Parish. From what I know, this is the only place in the state that has a problem with commercial oyster fisherman and recreational fisherman to this degree.

If biological data was to show that the beds are in danger then I would be in agreement with shutting down the oyster harvest in the area.

#1 dredging , big lake has always been tong for years and years and only about 25 boats max oystered the lake
#2 #of boats dredging
#3 no reseeding
#4 they whipped out basket reef in two days with 80 oyster boats on it
*5 outlaws ...more tickets are given out to osyterfisherman than any other activity on the lake , (recreational, shrimping, commercial )...more than all these combine

-----R u serious? You must not fish very much on Calc lake. They have flattened some of the best reefs on the lake. I don't need a biologist to see the damage done in a 3 year period, now there is no end in sight.

Lot of factors negatively impacting the estuary- lift on oyster ban & closure of the (lifeline of that lake) it can only take soo much.
