摘要

The Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) announce that construction is complete on the Oyster Bayou Marsh Creation and Terracing project in Cameron Parish. Located west of the Calcasieu Ship Channel near the Gulf of Mexico, this project used dredged sediment from the Gulf of Mexico to create and nourish approximately 600 acres of salt marsh and more than 2.5 miles of earthen terraces. This was a CWPRRA project at a cost of $31 million.
