A new Seafood Trail for Lake Charles, born of a brainstorming session between the Louisiana Sea Grant and the LSU AgCenter, allows residents and tourists alike to explore local seafood, sights, and activities.

鈥淚 am very excited to encourage people to visit and learn about seafood and nature in the local area,鈥� said Emily Maung-Douglass, former public engagement specialist with Louisiana Sea Grant.

Seafood Trail goals include increased engagement and awareness about the important connections between tourist destinations and the nature surrounding them.
