Due to the recent office closures to the public, officials encourage new shrimpers to apply for their licenses immediately.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries staff are available to process mailed applications, and the department said it is issuing this reminder so new license applicants will have their licenses in-hand prior to the start of the spring shrimping season, Wednesday March 18. Existing license holders may renew their licenses online.
“With the recent mild winter, we want all shrimpers prepared for the spring inshore shrimp season,” said the LDWF notice.
Below is a summary of how commercial fishermen can secure their 2020 commercial licenses.
