CHEF MENTEUR PASS MITIGATION BANK is located in Orleans Parish, Louisiana, and is the only private, fully permitted brackish marsh mitigation bank in the state. Across Louisiana, coastal wetlands are being lost every day due to rising sea levels, subsidence, and erosion. These wetlands serve important functions, such as protecting developed areas from storm surges, improving water quality, and providing critical habitat for Louisiana fisheries; their restoration and protection is a critical element in supporting local economies and keeping communities safe and productive. To date, EIP has restored 508 acres of coastal marsh habitat that is now home to fish, waterfowl and numerous other wildlife. EIP’s actions at Chef Menteur are also mitigating ongoing wetland losses throughout the Mississippi River’s deltaic plain. Chef Menteur Pass Mitigation Bank is located on the East Orleans Land Bridge, which has been at risk of disappearing following decades of shoreline erosion and wetland loss. Today, EIP is reversing this course by restoring the marshes, elevations and plant communities to a healthy and resilient condition.
