Are you ready for the start of fall? In Louisiana, we call this oyster season! Oysters thrive in Louisiana’s estuarine habitats.
Oysters also benefit the environment! Oysters form reefs that provide habit for other animals. These reefs can also act as a buffer for waves and reduce erosion. So oysters are not only tasty, but they are very important in stopping Louisiana coastal land loss!
Who’s ready for some fresh shrimp to add to your socially distanced seafood boils? With the start of the inshore shrimp season in Louisiana, we want to highlight this wetland organism!
The two main species in Louisiana are white and brown shrimp. These shrimp are not only tasty, but are an important part of estuarine food webs! Plus, commercial shrimp landings make up the second largest fishery in Louisiana.
If you’ve ever seen a Great Blue Heron, you probably noticed the beautiful blue wings of this species! This bird loves Louisiana coastal habitats, including swamps, marshes, and barrier islands.
Fun Fact: This slow-moving bird actually uses a lightning-fast strike of its beak to catch fish swimming nearby!
