ST. MARTINVILLE, LA – Attorney General Jeff Landry issued
the following statement after the Chauffe-Hebert Family finalized an agreement
with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to provide public
access to Lake Martin through a boat launch on the Rene and Eliza Chauffe
Landing:
“I applaud the Chauffe-Hebert Family for their decision to
keep open public entry to Lake Martin. Their resolution not only allows locals
and tourists to continue to access the duck hunting, fishing, boating, and
birding on the Lake; but it also helps to ensure the wildlife and its habitat
remain pristine. I thank Assistant Attorneys General Machelle Hall and Ryan
Montegut for their efforts in achieving today’s action.”
