In Louisiana, protecting
the environment is important to safeguard food products and natural
resources. Trees, the main agricultural product, along with beef cattle,
rice, soybeans, dairy products, and sugarcane require a healthy environment
in order to achieve their potential growth. Since Louisiana is the
national leader in fishery products (shrimp, crawfish, tuna, blue
crab, etc.), and because fishing is year round, clean water is a necessity.
Some of the environmental pollution prevention programs are Litter
Reduction and Public Action Program, Artificial Reef Program, Small
Business Assistance Program, Louisiana Technical Assistance Program,
and Urban Wildlife Project. |
