HUNTERS/HUNTING: Requests the Deptartment of Wildlife and Fisheries to study and make recommendations to manage alligator populations.

This Senate resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to study how to better manage the state's alligator populations. The bill directs officials to examine options such as adjusting egg collection programs, changing hunting tags and seasons, and improving methods for handling nuisance alligators. The goal is to balance the species' conservation success with public safety and ecosystem health while minimizing conflicts between humans and wildlife. Officials must complete this study and submit their findings and recommendations to the Senate Natural Resources Committee by February 14, 2025.
