L. C. P. A. – West was first formed in the late 80s early 90s because of trespassing threats against crawfishermen in the Atchafalaya basin. Our mission statement is to fight for and protect the free use of our navigable waters and water bottoms of our Atchafalaya Basin and state. We also fight to restore our Atchafalaya basin to its natural state as much as possible and we do everything possible to bring the polluters and abusers of the basin to justice. We fight for all users of the basin whether you’re a recreational user or commercial user of the basin. We encourage everyone to join our organization and join in our fight.
