It's !

Louisiana is known as Sportsman's Paradise for a reason. From our bayous and rivers to our lakes and coastal waters, Louisiana's waterways offer opportunities for fishing, recreation, and enjoying local wildlife.

But litter threatens our Sportsman's Paradise. By keeping trash out of our waterways, we can help protect fish habitats, preserve water quality, and ensure future generations can enjoy Louisiana's great outdoors.

Join us this September for Love Our Waterways, Louisiana's largest coordinated waterway and shoreline cleanup effort. Sign to clean up at www.LoveLaWaterways.org.
