Restoring Critical Duck Habitat in Bay Denesse



The Bay Denesse Delta Water Management Project could restore approximately 2,550 acres of less productive open water to a diverse array of highly productive habitat types, including emergent marsh, rooted floating vegetation mats, mud flats and more.

By increasing the flow of sediment-laden Mississippi river water into open waters of Bay Denesse, this project will construct marsh terraces to facilitate sediment capture and marsh accretion.
