Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program

The Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program is a collaborative effort to protect and restore the health of the Barataria and Terrebonne estuaries in Louisiana. These estuaries are vital ecosystems that support diverse wildlife, improve water quality, and provide resources for communities. The program brings together government agencies, scientists, and local stakeholders to develop plans that manage pollution, restore wetlands, and ensure sustainable use of natural resources. Its goal is to maintain these valuable habitats for future generations while supporting the region’s economy and environmental resilience.
