The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission voted today to allow oyster lessees to renew lease agreements by mail for the 2021-2022 lease renewal period. As has occurred in past years, lessees may also renew lease agreements in person at the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) office in New Orleans.
To renew an oyster lease by mail, the lessee will be required to return the following documents:
- A notarized application
- A copy of your state-issued ID
- Check or Money Order made out to the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries
If you would like to renew your lease by mail, please contact the Oyster Lease Program at 504-284-5279 or Marc Maniscalco at 504-284-5277
Documents can be mailed to the address listed below:
