you can read between the lines on Landry's response that he would likely veto any action against the Pogey boats.
CCA interviews candidates on pogie issue
Landry:
I oppose wasteful fishing practices, whatever they may be. Commercial fishing operations must be conducted in a responsible and sustainable way, including the bycatch from the menhaden fishery. This will allow us to maintain Louisiana’s precious natural resources. There must be an accountable balance between commerce and conservation.
I support science-based fishery management. If science indicates that additional regulations on the menhaden fishery will materially improve the health of other species, particularly troubled species like redfish and speckled trout, then as Governor I will support those new regulations.
I would however, not support regulation that harms any commercial fishery that is not supported by science. Just as I have done in opposing unnecessary regulations that hurt our recreational fishing.
Jeff Landry (R)
Wags:
YES. I will support such a limit. I am committed to working together with all parties to implement this in such a way that will protect the coast and these critical resources, enhance the recreational experience and also secure the Louisiana jobs in this industry. By working together, we will get this done.
