Invasive Species are non-native organisms that pose a threat to native ecosystems, often outcompeting local species and disrupting the natureal balance. A South American floating fern called Giant Salvinia was originally discovered in Toledo Bend, Louisiana in 1998, and later in the Chenier Plain in 2009. These floating ferns cause a variety of problems when they end up in an ecosystem outside of their native range. In response to the issues caused by the prevalence of this invasive plant, coastal scientists developed a program to control Giant Salvinia populations and mitigate their impact on wetland ecosystems.

Marsh Buggies, which are amphibious excavators with low ground pressure, are able to easily maneuver through soft, wet terrain. Environmental contractors use marsh buggies to dig terraces, sculpting earthen ridges and swales for wetland restoration. Marsh buggies also build up marsh elevation, helping to control water flow, create habitat, and protect delicate ecosystems while efficiently moving sediment and vegetation.

Terraces in wetland restoration are built-up ridges of sediment, often in coastal marshes, designed to reduce wave energy, slow erosion, decrease water depth, and create new marsh habitat for wildlife. These small manufactured islands can help turn open water back into vegetated wetlands by creating calmer zones where plants can establish. This technique is crucial for combating land loss, especially in areas like Louisiana, by using natural processes to rebuild marshlands.
The shape and arrangement of terraces depends on their intended purpose. Linear terraces slow water, trap sediment, and block wind and waves. Hatched terraces can promote vegetation growth and create habitat while also trapping sediment and blocking wind. Chevron terraces primarily block wind & waves, but they also slow water movement which minimizes erosion. Rounded terraces are often used to create habitat and encourage plant growth since they mimic natural land features.

A Sluice Gate is a structure that controls the flow of water through an embankment. Sluice gates can be used to regulate water levels, maintain salinity balances, control flooding, and optimize industrial processes.
In this restoration project, a gated sheet-pile freshwater introduction structure is located where the Montesano Canal meets the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW). This structure consists of a sheet-pile wall that has 8 large culverts with sluice gates and flaps.
The structure is designed to allow freshwater to flow southward from the GIWW into the Cameron-Creole Watershed. The gates open when salinity in the watershed gets too high, which allows freshwater to enter and bring the salinity back down to a healthy level.

Coastal scientists collect data across South Louisiana at almost 400 Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) sites.
The data collected at CRMS sites allows scientists and stakeholders to monitor how Louisiana's coast is changing over time. Environmental data (water levels, salinity, land/water ratios, etc.) is measured at each site and used to assess the landscape changes and the effectiveness of coastal restoration projects, which provides crucial insight for project design and management.

PROJECT INFO


Cameron-Creole Freshwater Introduction (CS-49)


Project Area: 22,510 acres
Project Cost: $27,000,000
Status: Construction Completed


Location
The project area is located on the east side of Calcasieu Lake and west of Gibbstown Bridge and Highway 27.


Problems
Virtually all of the project area marshes have experienced increased tidal exchange, saltwater intrusion, and reduced freshwater retention resulting from hydrologic changes associated with the Calcasieu Ship Channel and the GIWW. In addition, thousands of acres of marsh were damaged by Hurricane Rita and again, more recently, by Hurricane Ike. Because of man-made alterations to the hydrology, it is unlikely that those marshes will recover without comprehensive restoration efforts. The Cameron-Creole Watershed Project has successfully reduced salinities and increased marsh productivity. However, the area remains disconnected from freshwater, sediments, and nutrients available from the GIWW.


Restoration Strategy
The freshwater introduction project would restore the function, value, and sustainability to approximately 22,510 acres of marsh and open water by improving hydrologic conditions via freshwater input and increasing organic productivity.
