At 10:38 am on what was a sunny Saturday morning, the mood darkened in southern Louisiana as the state and Gulf seafood industries lost one of their strongest voices. Michael C. Voisin, owner of Motivatit Seafoods and a current Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commissioner, died in intensive care from a massive heart condition while at Terrebonne General Hospital in his hometown of Houma.
Voisin, owner of one of Louisiana’s oldest and best known oyster-processing companies, was instrumental in founding the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board in 1984. He was an outspoken voice, supporting both the quality of Louisiana Seafood as well as the culture of its community.
