Project Description
Campground improvements at the five (5) existing campgrounds throughout the Pass-a-Loutre Wildlife Management Area (PALWMA) include new picnic tables, fire pit/barbecue areas, and docks at all campgrounds. The project also included the installation of bulkheads at two campgrounds and site elevation via dredged material placement at three campgrounds. Dredged material from nearby shallow areas was placed on the adjacent campgrounds to elevate the facilities above expected storm-surge inundation elevations. This protects much of the campground infrastructure during summer tropical storm events. The campground improvements enhance the experience of campground users visiting the WMA, reduce ongoing erosion, and improve public use. Campgrounds included are South Pass, Cadro, Loomis #1, Loomis #2 and Southeast Pass.
