Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group Final Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment #2: Provide and Enhance Recreational Opportunities

The Final Recreational Use Plan #2 re-allocates funds originally dedicated to the Louisiana Marine Fisheries Enhancement, Research, and Science Center Early Restoration project, which is not moving forward because of feasibility issues arising in the planning process. Those funds are being proposed for reallocation to fund other restoration projects in the Final Recreational Use Plan #2. Included are $22 million in selected projects emphasizing the creation and enhancement of recreational fishing infrastructure, providing more opportunities and access to recreational fishing, and educational and outreach promoting use and stewardship of natural resources.
