RESTORE Council to host meetings on project priorities
The RESTORE Council meetings will be held September 15 in New Orleans and September 16 in Morgan City.
The Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council is holding two public meetings in Louisiana to discuss the draft Initial Funded Priorities List (FPL) and ask for the public's feedback on the draft FPL.
The draft FPL, released by the Council in August, proposes funding for a total of seven projects located in Louisiana totaling approximately $52 million.
The proposed Coastal Master Plan projects include: - Golden Triangle Marsh Creation Project ($4.3M; planning)
- Mississippi River Reintroduction into Maurepas Swamp Project ($14.2; planning)
- Biloxi Marsh Living Shoreline Project ($3.2M; planning)
- West Grand Terre Beach Nourishment and Stabilization Project ($7.3; planning)
- Lowermost Mississippi River Management Program ($9.3; planning)
Two additional proposed projects, Jean Lafitte Canal Backfilling ($8.7M; implementation) and Bayou Dularge Ridge, Marsh and Hydrologic Restoration ($5.2; planning) are also located in Louisiana. These two projects, submitted for funding by federal members of the Council, are complementary to and consistent with the master plan and will directly benefit coastal Louisiana.

Lafourche Parish will also hold RESTORE Meeting
Lafourche Parish will also host a meeting on their multi-year implementation plan for their parish-direct funding from Transocean.
Mathews, LA -Lafourche Parish Government's RESTORE Act Multiyear Implementation Plan draft is now available for public comment, the parish announced today, Aug. 26.
The announcement follows a presentation on the draft multiyear plan to the Lafourche Parish Council during its meeting Tuesday night, Aug. 25.
In addition, the parish is also holding a public meeting at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16, at the Larose Civic Center (307 E 5th St, Larose), where the draft multiyear plan will be presented and the public will be able to submit public comments in writing for consideration.
The deadline to submit public comments is October 9, 2015.
"As a parish that has been affected so tremendously by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, we are fortunate to be able to work with those at all levels of government to help protect and restore our natural resources, economy and culture," said Charlotte Randolph, Lafourche Parish president. "More than half a decade after this horrible disaster, we are still reminded of the sizeable impacts our parish suffered, and our desire to continue rebuilding is what makes this multiyear plan crucial in moving forward."
According to Lafourche Parish Administrator Archie Chaisson, the public is encouraged to provide comments about the plan.
"The projects in this plan have been chosen based on the best available science, years of ongoing work and public engagement, as well as a deep understanding of our parish's needs. We hope to have the full support of those who live and work in our community as we move forward with this plan to implement projects that restore our wetlands and protect our communities," Chaisson said.
