The Louisiana Crab Task Force will meet Monday, May 3, 2021, 1:00p.m., at LA Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Headquarters, 2000 Quail Dr, Baton Rouge, LA 70898

Due to the public health emergency guidelines established in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, attendance will be restricted to 75% of the room capacity. All members of the public must wear a mask to enter the building and remain socially distanced in the Joe Herring room.

In an effort to allow more public access to the meeting, the Board asks those persons attending for a single agenda item to leave after that item is heard. This will allow other members of the public to rotate into the room.
