Louisiana Seafood is known for its abundance, taste, quality and variety. Nearly 1/3 of the seafood consumed in the contiguous United States is harvested fresh from Louisiana waters. In 1984, the State of Louisiana created the Louisiana Seafood Promotion & Marketing Board to support their vast historical commercial fisheries industry. Although seafood had grown from a subsistence economy to a world class operation, it was challenged by dramatic changes in the marketplace and in the environment. The board was mandated to strengthen and revitalize the Louisiana seafood industry, to identify threats and execute strategic plans to meet them head on and overcome them.
