U.S. Senator David Vitter
announced the award of a
$10.6 million grant to the
Cameron Parish government
for the restoration of the
Grand Lake shoreline, located
in the Mermentau Basin.
“This sizeable and important
grant will contribute to
the critical coastal restoration
work underway in
Cameron Parish. I’m pleased
to see projects like this that
help protect our shorelines
from further erosion,” said
Vitter.
The grant will fund the
construction of a rock breakwater
to halt erosion, which
can be as high as 32 feet per
year, on the south shore of
Grand Lake. The funds were
awarded by the Interior
Department’s Minerals
Management Service
through the Coastal Impact
Assistance Program.
(EDITOR’S NOTE--
Grand Lake the lake
should not be confused
with Grand Lake the community.
The lake is located
in the northeast part of
Cameron Parish south of
Lake Arthur. Grand Lake
community is located in
central Cameron Parish
just south of the Calcasieu
Parish line.)

Is that along the west side of the Ship channel?
