I was playing on google maps checking out the shore of lake P and spotted this project. Does anyone know what the end game is? Are they gathering sand to build that jetty to try to keep the channel open into Guste Island? Just assuming the OB experts can explain. Lol

Looks to be a coastal erosion project. Filling in marsh that has eroded away.

The Army Corps filled it in as a wetland creation project. It was mitigation for the HSDRRS (New Orleans Levee System) activities post Katrina where marsh elsewhere was ruined by expansion of the system footprint.

Bayou Bonfricku (sp?)
Seriously its called something like that, bayou Bonfuca. Fed and state money being used to dredge and pump land back to the marsh that was eroded during storms.
There was a news story the other day.
ETA:
If that's not the name of it, it's the same $ set up. CPRA led with fed matching $.

Bayou Bonfouca is well to the East, over by Slidell.

Like you would know...
There is an article on NOLA about the Bonfounca project. It’s as poorly written as the False River article.

that whole area of land didnt exist anymore and was all water
go look on google earth using 30°22'57.0"N 90°13'10.4"W
and start in 1998 and you see the marsh there then some erosion up to 2004 but (im assuming) after katrina in 2005 it was nothing left there but water and around 2010 image date, you can see the actual lake shoreline opened up on the right side so if they didnt do something that area would now be part of lake ponchartrain
