🦀 Louisiana blue crab generates nearly $293 million in annual economic impact and supports thousands of jobs across coastal communities.
While many people associate blue crab with Maryland, Louisiana has been one of the nation's leading blue crab producers and has accounted for about one-quarter of blue crab landed in the United States.
For St. Bernard Parish, blue crab represents more than seafood. It supports commercial fishermen, seafood docks, processors, distributors, and the working waterfront that has helped define our local economy for generations. Every pound harvested helps sustain jobs, businesses, and families that depend on Louisiana's seafood industry.
When you buy local blue crab, you're doing more than bringing home a great meal. You're supporting an industry that contributes to a seafood economy responsible for more than 31,000 jobs and $2.4 billion in economic impact statewide.
