Two projects have been awarded $215 million in an effort that will restore more than 4,600 acres of wetlands, coastal, and nearshore habitats in Louisiana.
As part of the Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group’s (LA TIG) Final Phase 2 Restoration Plan/Environmental Assessment #1.2, the Spanish Pass Ridge and Marsh Creation Project and the Lake Borgne Marsh Creation Project represent another step forward in the continued restoration of Louisiana’s coastal ecosystems that were damaged as a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
