Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Funding was approved in 2023 through the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection, and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) program for construction of the East Delacroix Marsh Creation and Terracing Project.
This project will restore over 410 acres of marsh in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, and contributes to a suite of projects designed to aid in the protection from storm surges of the historic and culturally distinct fisheries-centric community of Delacroix.
Along with the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, the local cost share partner, NOAA is building off a prior award for the design for this project.
Coastal wetlands are Louisiana's first line of defense during hurricanes and storms, protecting communities and infrastructure from the damaging effects of wind, waves, and flooding.
They also provide habitat for fish and shellfish, which support a statewide seafood industry valued at nearly $1 billion per year.
However, the Louisiana coastline has deteriorated considerably over time.
