Project Description
The project will involve improvements to Grand Isle State Park, including upgrading an existing pier to improve fishing access; evaluate and construct, when appropriate, multiple shoreline protection features in the vicinity of Grand Isle State Park to provide habitat for shallow-water, nearshore marine species of recreational value; and repairing and upgrading existing roads and nature trails damaged by repeated flooding. The project will provide improved fishing and recreational use of the state park and also provide protection of coastal, nearshore marine habitats and inland infrastructure.
