Louisiana Wild Seafood Certification Program
The purpose of the Louisiana Wild Seafood Certification Program (LWSCP) is to develop a brand that guarantees labeled wild-caught seafood products are from Louisiana. Seafood products possessing the program label are taken by a Louisiana licensed fisherman, landed in Louisiana, and processed by a Louisiana processor. LWSCP strives to increase consumer confidence, help commercial fishermen and processors to receive a premium price for their product, and also ensure Louisiana’s seafood industry is able to compete and endure in the constantly changing global marketplace.
