Caminada Back Barrier Marsh Creation

August 7, 2020
Contact: coastal@la.gov

Project Overview:
This project will create and nourish over 900 acres of back barrier intertidal marsh behind 8 miles of Caminada Headland in Lafourche Parish using material dredged from the Gulf of Mexico. The project works synergistically with existing Caminada Headland dune and back barrier marsh projects (BA-0045 and BA-0143), expanding the restored back barrier marsh platform and improving the longevity of the barrier shoreline.
