The project will construct a recycled oyster shell reef in collaboration with the Pointe-au-Chien Indian Tribe using recycled oyster shells. The oyster reef will provide shoreline stabilization while creating vital fisheries and protecting the Pointe-au-Chien Indian Tribe mound complex. The Bayou Pointe-au-Chien Oyster Reef Project will protect 400 feet of marsh shoreline and help to ensure the cultural heritage of the Pointe-au-Chien is protected for future generations.
