                  The posting 
                    board, which can be accessed through www.LouisianaSeafood.com, 
                    will provide a platform for separated family members and acquaintances 
                    to post information on their whereabouts and the status of 
                    their loved ones.
                  It will 
                    also provide the means for fishermen to report on damages 
                    and losses to the industry by sector and location in each 
                    state. 
                  Information 
                    gathered will be used to help assess the status of the Louisiana 
                    seafood industry, which has a $2.6 billion economic impact 
                    to the state.
