We may not be looking at the biggest crawfish crop, but one thing is for sure: Crawfish season is upon us. Those spicy crustaceans Louisiana is famous for are being boiled up by the thousands as we speak, and there are plenty of mudbug-lovers waiting gobble them all up! State officials are now focusing their concern for what happens after the feast.
According to the report from U.S. News and World Report, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ Louisiana) is pleading with residents not to discard the aftermath of their crawfish meal into storm drains. Environmental officials are warning that the glut of empty shells, leftover potatoes & corn cobs, and even the water used to boil the whole thing is an ecological disaster waiting to happen.
