The Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) Thursday, Feb. 4, announced construction activity is underway on the Cameron Meadows Marsh Creation and Terracing project located in Cameron Parish northwest of Holly Beach.
This restoration project will address a large area of marsh that has degraded into open water due to subsidence, saltwater surge from Hurricane Rita and other storms, excessive drought, and salt water retention as a result of silted-in canals which prohibited adequate drainage.
