Nestled along the southern Louisiana coast, the small fishing community of Dulac holds a remarkable story of transformation, resilience, and innovation. What began as a modest shift from shrimping has evolved into one of the most significant and least told stories in American fisheries: the rise of the Vietnamese-American tuna industry.
