ROR Participates in Raccoon Island Planting
Volunteers lifted and placed 22 pound Gulf Saver Bags onto Raccoon Island, a barrier island in the Isle Dernieres Barrier Island Refuge, at designated spots on both the shoreline and the dunes. The Gulf Saver bags were then scored and plugged with native marsh plants.
"We could not have asked for a more beautiful day," said ROR Executive Director, who joined the group. "The sun was shining bright, and we left the island in a much better condition than it was just a few days before."
The Isles Dernieres barrier island chain is experiencing some of the highest erosion rates of any coastal region in the world. Raccoon Island is experiencing shoreline retreat both gulfward and bayward, threatening one of the most productive wading bird nesting areas and shorebird habitats along the gulf coast.
The planting was the second restoration initiative for REF in Louisiana. REF's December 2010 Gulf Saver initiative at North Pass, Pass a Loutre Wildlife Management Area in Venice was the first restoration on oil soiled wetlands following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
