HR 230 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

WILDLIFE & FISHERIES: Urges and requests the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to study ways to develop and enhance recreational opportunities for certain portions of Little River

This resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to study how to improve recreational activities like fishing, boating, and hiking on parts of the Little River. The study will examine water levels and their effect on fish populations, assess the river's water quality, and look into adding nearby creeks to the scenic river list. It also considers building new access points such as boat launches and fishing piers, as well as the feasibility of constructing a weir on the river. The agency must submit a written report of its findings to the House Committee on Natural Resources and Environment before the 2025 legislative session.
