NOAA’s Fisheries Service today announced the state of Louisiana will be eligible for up to $40 million and Texas will be eligible for up to $7 million in disaster aid to restore and rebuild the states’ fish habitats and fishing industries devastated by hurricanes Gustav and Ike.
“These two hurricanes hit communities that had not yet recovered from the disastrous Katrina and Rita hurricanes in 2005,” said Jim Balsiger, acting NOAA assistant administrator for NOAA’s Fisheries Service. “We are pleased that the states have shown a strong interest in using this aid to restore damaged oyster reefs, remove storm debris that hinders the shrimp industry, and to rebuild processing houses, docks, ice houses, and other parts of the fishing infrastructure destroyed by the hurricanes.”
The states will now submit plans to NOAA’s Fisheries Service outlining how the funds will be used.
