Through the initiative run by the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL), local restaurants collect their used oyster shells and the program returns them to the water.

A U.S. Appeals Court in Louisiana Recently Reversed the Dismissal of Tesla's Dealer Franchise Lawsuit Against the State

That policy has caused headaches for some companies, including Tesla and Rivian, which allow customers to purchase a car online for delivery. Tesla sued the state of Louisiana over its franchise laws in 2022, but the courts threw it out.
