River Reintroduction into Maurepas Swamp Project
Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority and its partners broke ground on an exciting new project earlier this month. The River Reintroduction into Maurepas Swamp is a freshwater diversion providing important life-giving sediments for Louisiana’s largest and last remaining coastal freshwater marsh.
Years ago, man leveed off the Mississippi River, providing flood protection and stability for local communities, but in doing so, they deprived the Louisiana Delta of freshwater and essential nutrients. Cut off from the Mississippi River, the Maurepas Swamp has begun to wither and die slowly.
The River Reintroduction into Maurepas Swamp plans to change that. Located on the East Bank of the Mississippi River in St John the Baptist Parish, this freshwater diversion will reconnect the swamp with a critical freshwater source. This project will benefit over 9,000 acres of wetland, allowing it to blossom and thrive. A healthier ecosystem means a healthier habitat for numerous birds, fish, and wildlife that call South Louisiana home. This reinvigorated wetland will add an extra layer of protection for nearby communities from storm surge.
CPRA is working to rebuild and restore the invaluable natural protections of South Louisiana, helping to preserve our people, our culture, and our way of life.

    Just drop off bags of sand at the Myrtle grove marina and everyone going out fishing can dump 1 bag a trip. It would build more land in 50 years then this money racket....And not destroy the fisheries.

    • @quangdexter
      @quangdexter 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ehhh there won’t be any fisheries to fish once the land’s all gone. Fish will always go elsewhere if they need to. You’ll just find them somewhere else.

    What a very sad day for the residents of Belle Chasse. You’re celebrating an experiment that will produce destruction of marine life, peoples’ homes, and generations of jobs and livelihoods in the name of coastal restoration. There are other ways of coastal restoration that is PROVEN to produce land and not at the cost of destroying so much. People are not just collateral damage and Guinea pigs in your EXPERIMENTS. You should be ashamed of doing this to people!!! It’s all a joke…you are maximizing politics and big money and minimizing the worth of people!!! You lump this experiment with the success of coastal restoration which is successful and refuse to report the destruction this diversion will cause to so many!!! You bring up God blessing us with this coast… God also blessed His people with jobs, homes, families, marine life, shrimp, and oysters that you are destroying. Celebrating destruction and dumping toxins in the backyards of peoples’ homes that live on the coast is going against the wishes of the people who had no vote in any of this. You were elected to represent the people not be a king and do what you want and trample over our communities. This does not represent the people! We want coastal restoration not destruction of our homes and properties with man made flooding of our streets, our vehicles, and trapping us in flooded waters. Shame on all who celebrate this!!! You’re celebrating your pride of destruction to real people and real families!!! May you reap what your are sowing!!!
