They are paying for the work not the Feds. Just not sure why they do it in this area vs the rest of the state: I'll find out why they are maintaining the shorelines in that area. I do know it was a sticking point in the long term lease negotiations. It might be done to maintain water levels on apaches Corp lease. And to keep the riff raff obviously. But that area is where they are forcing the freshwater into upper terrebonne marshes.

I actually hope they create some additional entry points for you criminals. All these restoration projects have ruined the duck hunting.

It's likely part of the stipulations in the CUP, Costal Use Permit, for that parcel of property. LLE and Apache own a gazillion acres and I'm very certain said activity is not be done on most they own.
It also could be a mitigation bank they have to maintain to offset work in wetlands areas they have impacted in other parts of the state, thus they have to pay for life.
