摘要：	Earlier this month, Louisiana's Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) completed the Terrebonne Basin Barrier Island and Beach Nourishment project, which restored 1,080 acres of barrier island habitat and 8.6 miles of beach along the Louisiana coast in the parishes of Terrebonne and Lafourche. Funds for the $166 million project flowed from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and were administered by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. In addition, the state of Louisiana provided $3 million. The project restored 261 acres on Trinity-East Island, 252 acres on Tim-balier Island and 567 acres on West Belle Headland. "The newly completed Terrebonne Basin restoration project is a testament to the importance of our barrier islands as a first line of defense for communities," CPRA Chairman Chip Kline said. "Across our coast, we're building up our barrier islands, restoring our marshes, and fortifying our hurricane protection systems to increase our defenses against strengthening and more frequent storms." The project used more than 8.8 million cubic yards of dredged material from Ship Shoal through a lease agreement with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.
