'The management and protection of private wetlands that is incentivized and funded by the sale of American alligator eggs and hides benefits [other] species as well,' the state argued in its complaint.
Starting January 1, 2020, California is scheduled to enact a Section 653o, banning the commercial import and sale of alligator and crocodile products, a move Louisiana claims will cause irreparable harm to its economy—and to its alligator population.
The alligator clause in Section 653o will act as an addendum to California's ban on commercial imports and sales of big game trophies such as polar bears, jaguars and elephants. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals called the addition"long-awaited" in an October announcement. "California is 30 percent of the alligator market in the world. If we lose that, these are going to be in trouble. And California is just the first of the dominoes to fall," Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Secretary Jack Montoucet toldThe complaint further explained that"the majority of the coastal habitat in Louisiana is privately owned," and that efforts to combat coastal erosion largely fall to the private citizens who own property near the Gulf of Mexico.
