Description
The Calcasieu Ship Channel provides an avenue for the rapid movement of high-salinity water into the East Mud Lake project area of southern Louisiana resulting in plant death and marsh loss. Following construction of water control structures at East Mud Lake designed to stabilize salinity and water levels and ensure movement of commercial species into and out of the project area, densities of nekton and the extent of vegetative cover were assessed and compared for project and reference sites to estimate the impact of construction on wetland habitats.
