LOUISIANA SEAFOOD PROMOTION BOARD
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 commodities 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. The Board is composed
of 15 members appointed by the Governor. And each represents a sector of the industry: harvesters,
processors/wholesalers, restauranteurs/retailers, fisheries resource
managers, public health officers, and marketing specialists.
The Board's operating budget is derived from license sales to Louisiana
commercial fishermen and seafood wholesalers/retailers, as well as state and federal
grants.
