Louisiana HB872 mandates the use of automatic identification systems on all commercial menhaden reduction fishery vessels.
Louisiana HB872 enacts a requirement for all vessels engaged in commercial menhaden reduction fishing to use automatic identification systems (AIS). These systems automatically exchange data such as position, speed, and heading with other vessels, shore stations, and satellites. The bill also directs the Louisiana State Law Institute to alphabetize and renumber certain definitions in existing law. This requirement applies to both carrier vessels or steamers and purse boats.
