BTNEP is now sharing with the public its updated guidance document called a Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP). Since 1990 the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program (BTNEP) has been engaged in the protection and restoration of the 4.2 million acres of land and water that lie between the Mississippi and Atchafalaya rivers which has been at the heart of Louisiana’s land loss crisis. The modernized Plan has been revised and is now ready for public review.
The public is invited to view the new CCMP and provide comment on the new document and to engage with BTNEP in its efforts. The review period will be open for 30 days ending May 23, 2018. To view and/or comment on the new CCMP visit the web at www.CCMP.BTNEP.NET. For additional information or to view a print copy of the document, you may contact the BTNEP office at 985-447-0868.
Osprey update! We currently have two pairs of Osprey utilizing the new nest platforms. The Osprey were busy nest building and one of the males provided a fish to the female! BTNEP would like to thank Apache Louisiana Minerals for partnering with the program to develop and install artificial nest structures for Osprey. #Yearofthebird #Osprey
BTNEP would like to thank all the paddlers that joined us two weeks ago. We hope everyone had a great time and thanks to Mother Nature for holding off and for letting us get in the water all four days. Pictures will be posted soon!
