Description
Restoration of beach, dune, and back-barrier marsh habitats at the Caillou Lake Headlands location occurred on Whiskey Island, a barrier island in the Isle Dernieres reach of the Terrebonne Basin barrier system. The project was federally authorized under the Water Resources Development Act of 2007 and selected as a preferred alternative in the Terrebonne Basin Barrier Shoreline Restoration (TBBSR) Integrated Feasibility Study and Final Environmental Impact Statement (United States Corps of Engineers (USACE) 2010)), and included in the 2012 Louisiana's Comprehensive Master Plan for a Sustainable Coast. The restoration used approximately 10.5 million cubic yards of sand/sediment to restore 954 acres beach, dune, and marsh. NOAA is the lead Trustee for the design and construction of this project component, working cooperatively with Louisiana and the DOI.
