Welcome to the Louisiana Derelict Crab Trap Removal
Program Web Site. The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) is
the lead agency for this program. However, the program is
volunteer based, and many organizations, governmental entities, and individuals
have participated.
Sucessful derelict crab trap clean ups have been held every year since 2004.
A total of 17,972 derelict crab traps have been removed thus
far.
Additional clean ups will take place in the future, and the continued success of the
program will depend upon volunteer participation. If you
would you like additional information, please contact Vince Guillory
by phone [985-594-4139], mail [LDWF;
PO Box 189; Bourg, LA 70343], or EMAIL [vguillory at wlf.la.gov]
