Location

The marsh creation project is south of The Pen. The corridor will be constructed from the back levee to the Barataria Waterway.

Project Goals

Once completed, this project will: provide the means to re-establish a contiguous reach of emergent wetlands along the Barataria Landbridge; use sustainable sediment sources to restore and nourish wetlands in an area where sediments are limited; and provide an access corridor that can enhance cost savings of future projects that need long-distance sediment conveyance technology.

Project Status

To date, the project plans and specifications have been completed. This project is headed to construction.
