The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries announced at 8 p.m. today the most far-reaching closure of state coastal waters in the more than four weeks since the British Petroleum/Deepwater Horizon rig began gushing oil into the Gulf of Mexico off Louisiana’s coast.

All the newly closed waters are “inside” waters and include closures of most of Barataria Bay, all of Caminada Bay north of Grand Isle, and most, if not all, of Terrebonne and Timbalier bays.

The closure order effectively shut down all fishing in the Grand Isle, Grand Terre, Four Bayous Pass, Red’s Pass, Lakes Pelto and Barre and all points in the Cocodrie area.
