Subject: Restoration Begins on North Breton Island
The restoration project will add 400 acres of barrier island wildlife habitat to address some of the injuries to birds caused by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Sand for the project will come from the sea floor of the Gulf of Mexico three miles away from the island. Sand will be placed on the north end of the island first where mangroves provide valuable brown pelican habitat.
