"This report involves two joint state-federal projects. The Caernarvon Freshwater Diversion and the Teche-Vermilion Freshwater Project, three demonstration/pilot projects funded entirely by the state, and one study. One pilot project involves barrier island restoration at two locations, one involves beach nourishment, and three involve diversion of freshwater. The single study is designed to project coastal conditions that will establish a baseline upon which we can guide and measure the success of coastal restoration and erosion reduction projects in the future."--Page 2.
