Fishing is a major industry in Louisiana, with one-third of all the nation’s seafood being supplied by the Gulf of Mexico. Port Fourchon is located at the heart of the Central District of Louisiana, which leads the state in landings of seafood. The nearness of the port to Gulf fishing areas reduces expensive travel and increases available fishing time. Lafourche Parish and Port Fourchon offer world class recreational fishing. Whether it be surf fishing and crabbing along its beach or shoreline or deep sea charter fishing, the Port offers numerous opportunities to a wide range of recreational users.
