Sabine Parish Sheriff Aaron Mitchell wanted to notify the public of surveys that will be performed on Toledo Bend Lake over the next three months.

According to company representatives, bathymetric surveys will be conducted with remotely operated unmanned surface vessels (USVs), also known as autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs), or “drone boats.” The USVs will follow pre-programmed routes, conducting a remotely operated and monitored bathymetric survey to create a new high-resolution fishing map that will be available next year.

We ask the public, boaters, and fisherman not to disrupt or access these “drone boats” in any way while you are enjoying Toledo Bend Lake.
