Project features include the creation of 534 acres of marsh, the planting of smooth cordgrass along 44,307 linear feet of shoreline, the construction of one armored earthen plug, three sheetpile plugs, and a rip-rap plug where the Little Deuce channel cuts through the Small Bayou LaPointe ridge. Additionally, an existing fixed-crest weir along Bayou Raccourci will be repaired.
