Welcome!
Delta Land Services is happy to launch our inaugural newsletter to keep you informed of our latest projects and events. The first quarter of 2012 was eventful but exciting for Delta, with various new developments outside of just wetland mitigation. For instance, we are proud to announce the launch of a new restoration and protection product, SHORE|LINKSŪ, as well as our first stream restoration project. Also, the Delta team continues to grow with the addition of several, key personnel.
We hope you find this newsletter to be a helpful source for information, and you continue to join Delta in our efforts to restore and revitalize our valuable wetland resources.

SHORE|LINKSŪ
Dr. Gary Breitenbeck and his team have patiently waited for the introduction of Delta's new restoration and protection product. SHORE|LINKSŪ is a promising technology patented by the LSU AgCenter and exclusively licensed to Delta Land Services, LLC with a shared goal of restoring and protecting our valuable wetland resources.
The SHORE|LINKSŪ system offers a cost-effective, flexible and scalable approach for the protection and restoration of shorelines, stream banks and coastal wetlands. This system is based on building units of lightweight aggregate encapsulated in a biodegradable or poly mesh fabric that can be used for construction of barriers, breakwaters and shoreline revetment.
