# Purpose

The hunting of migratory waterfowl has long been a source of recreation and tourism in Louisiana. In order to protect and preserve this most valuable asset, the Louisiana Duck License, Stamp, and Print Program is created as a means of funding approved projects through sale of a migratory waterfowl license, hereinafter known as the "duck license", and sale of duck stamps and prints.
