LPBF Coastal Plan Advancing

                             
Five of LPBF's Coastal Lines of Defense Projects are currently slated to be in the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MRGO) restoration plan.  These projects provide dual benefits of habitat restoration and flood protection. 

 
The 5 projects selected are:

    - Maintain the MRGO-Lake Borgne LandLOD

      Bridge

    - Restore the Bayou la Loutre Ridge

    - Construct the Violet Diversion to

      maintain target salinity in the Biloxi

      Marsh
    - Maintain and restore the Breton Land

      Bridge
    - Maintain critical marsh shorelines and

      ridges of the East Orleans Land Bridge

  

LPBF strongly recommends the following projects be added to the MRGO restoration plan:

    - Maintain & restore the Biloxi Marsh Land Bridge and barrier reefs 

      (South)

    - Maintain & restore the Biloxi Marsh Land Bridge and barrier reefs  

      (North)
