The proposed action is strategically planned as an initial effort for coastal restoration under the existing authority for the Louisiana Coastal Area (LCA), Louisiana--Ecosystem Restoration Louisiana--Ecosystem Restoration, Barrier Island Restoration, Marsh Creation, and River Diversion, Barataria Basin Feasibility Study. The LCA Feasibility Study will evaluate the coastal restoration strategies described in the December 1998 document entitled "Coast 2050: Toward a Sustainable Coastal Louisiana". The LCA Feasibility Study will evaluate the Coast 2050 Plan as a whole and select strategies, such as the proposed action, to be analyzed in feasibility- level detail. The Coast 2050 Plan has been developed under legislative mandate and is a result of recognition by Federal, State, and local agencies that a single plan is needed that incorporates a clear vision for the coast, builds on previous work, integrates coastal management and coastal restoration approaches, and adopts a multiple-use approach to restoration planning. In general, the overall purpose of the Coast 2050 Plan is to sustain a coastal ecosystem that supports and protects the environment, economy, and culture of southern Louisiana, and contributes greatly to the economy and well-being of the nation. The purpose of the Coast 2050 strategies for the Barataria Basin is to restore and/or protect the natural and human environment to create a sustainable ecosystem in the Barataria Basin within the context of the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem, including coastal Louisiana.
