Hopedale Hydrologic Restoration
State Project Number: PO-24
Project Priority List (PPL): 08
Federal Sponsor: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)
Project Type: Hydrologic Restoration
Construction Completion Date: 2004
Description:
This project is designed to abate site-specific wetland loss by replacing collapsed culverts installed in the 1950s near Yscloskey, Louisiana. The project involves re-furbishment and construction of several water control structures designed to prevent tidal surges and reduce wetland deterioration within the project site. Replacement of these structures would allow more rapid drainage of the area, improve fisheries access, reduce wetland loss rates, and protect over 3,000 acres of marsh.
