BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) As crawfish season begins, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality is reminding people not to commit crawfish pollution.
Don’t put crawfish shells or water left after boiling crawfish down storm drains, into ditches, or anywhere they could get into bodies of water, the department said in its February newsletter.
“Dumping any seafood waste such as crawfish shells and boil water into a ditch, bayou, river, lake or other waterway can seriously harm or kill any resident aquatic species living there,” the article said.
