NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Louisiana officials have reopened to commercial fishing a portion of state waters that had been closed because of the BP oil spill.
The Department of Wildlife and Fisheries on Thursday reopened an area east of the Mississippi River in New Orleans and St. Tammany, St. Bernard and Plaquemines parishes to finfish and shrimp.
Sport fishing also reopened in an area from Pass a Loutre to the Southwest Pass of the Mississippi River in southern Plaquemines.
