The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) is alerting the public that the current mix of sizzling summer temperatures, extended cloudy weather, and storms may lead to inland (freshwater) and nearshore marine fish kills in waterways across the state.
Facing those conditions, LDWF is stressing the importance of reporting fish kills to the Department.
Please report them to LDWF so biologists can investigate and document the kill as soon as possible.
