Multiyear Implementation Plan – Activity #1: Cat Island Restoration

Cat Island is recognized as critical bird habitat in Barataria Bay, Plaquemines Parish, Louisia

Over the last 20 years, the islands have lost more than 90 percent of their land mass and w

directly impacted and completely inundated by the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. This proj

is the culmination of several years’ worth of work including significant partnership and leverag

of funds to ensure this project is constructed. Cat Island was a significant feature within Barata

Bay because they provide critical nesting habitat for a variety of birds including brown pelica

(Pelecanus occidentalis), reddish egrets (Egretta rufescens), and roseate spoonbills (Plata

ajaja). The reconstruction of the island would not only recreate essential bird nesting habitat 

these species but will also, as designed, provide an opportunity for endangered Americ

oystercatchers to nest. 

Location

Cat Island is located in the Lower Barataria Bay (29°20'26.51"N; 89°52'12.02"W). The isla

chain consists of two island complexes – Cat Island West and Cat Island East. This proj

proposes the restoration of Cat Island East (Figure 1).
