Louisiana's vital seafood industry provides nearly 40% of domestic seafood production. Unlike Louisianans, most Americans do not enjoy fresh seafood, yet manage to eat over 4 billion pounds of seafood annually, most of it foreign, frozen, and fried! America's commercial fisheries now face crippling economic and environmental pressures from seafood imports, over-fishing, urban and agricultural wastewater runoff, harmful algal blooms, and coastal wetlands loss. As a result of these ecosystem stresses, seafood-borne disease now causes 37% of all foodborne illness in the United States. Despite recent advisories on high mercury-containing finfish consumption, seafood provides more than a third of the world with essential dietary protein, rich in cardiovascular-protective omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Louisiana and other coastal-state physicians can effectively curtail the rising threat of local seafood-borne disease outbreaks by supporting responsible coastal restoration and regulation of commercial fishing, and by recommending careful inspection, selection, and preparation of seafood.
