1. Time Series for Central West Grand Terre Island of the Lafourche Shoreline 1984 - 2007 Aerial Video Survey Program Pontchartrain Institute of Environmental Sciences University of New Orleans Karen A Westphal

2. The Aerial Video Survey Program has been acquiring photography and video of the northern Gulf of Mexico shoreline since 1984. Oblique aerial photography does not produce exact matches due to variations in altitude, camera angle and distance from the shore (and different photographers). Photos that matched well were scaled and aligned to illustrate the landscape changes that have taken place between time periods. Occasionally a pointer or symbol was added to assist with the visual comparison.

23. Relevant Coastal Restoration Projects  Vegetative Plantings of a Dredged Material Disposal Site on Grand Terre Island. State Project Number: BA-28 Project Priority List (PPL): 07 Federal Sponsor: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Project Type: Vegetation Planting Construction Completion Date: 2001 Description: The goal of this project is to stabilize dredged material sites on West Grand Terre Island. This objective was achieved through vegetation plantings and by purchasing grazing rights on the island for the life of the project (20 years).  East/West Grand Terre Islands Restoration. State Project Number: BA-30 Project Priority List (PPL): 09 Federal Sponsor: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Project Types: Barrier Island, Marsh Creation Construction Completion Date: Pending Description: The goal of this project is to stabilize and benefit 1,575 acres of barrier island habitat and extend the island's life expectancy. Dredged material will be used to create dune and marsh habitat on East Grand Terre Island. http://dnr.louisiana.gov/crm/coastres/projectlist.asp  Vegetative Plantings of a Dredged Material Disposal Site on Grand Terre Island.
