Shrimp Line

Louisiana’s state waters are divided into inside and outside waters for management purposes. The inside/outside shrimp line separates these waters. The line generally follows the coastline from the Louisiana/Texas state line to the Louisiana/Mississippi state line. Waters landward of the shrimp line are inside waters; waters seaward of the shrimp line out to the three mile line are outside waters. Inside waters are further divided into seven major estuarine basins. The Louisiana Legislature, Wildlife and Fisheries Commission, and LDWF are responsible for managing the shrimp fishery in inside and outside waters. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council and NOAA Fisheries are responsible for the shrimp fishery in federal waters.

The inside/outside shrimp line has been changed as of September 1, 2018. In March 2018, the Commission adopted a rule to amend the current line due to land loss and erosion caused by storm surge, tidal movements, and other natural causes. Approximately, 61,000 acres were added to the state's outside waters. These changes were made using 2015 satellite imagery.
