Closure of the Grand Bayou Boat Bay
[/SIZE]Department of the Interior / U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service[SIZE=3] [/SIZE]Southwest Louisiana National Wildlife Refuge Complex[SIZE=3] Cameron Prairie NWR[/SIZE][SIZE=3] 1428 Highway 27[/SIZE][SIZE=3] Bell City, LA 70630[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3] For Immediate Release [/SIZE][SIZE=3] January 31, 2012 [/SIZE][SIZE=3] Contact: Chuck Perrodin Public Information Director Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority Desk: [/SIZE][SIZE=3](225) 342-7615[/SIZE][SIZE=3] Cell: [/SIZE][SIZE=3](225) 768-8882[/SIZE][SIZE=3] The boat bay at Grand Bayou allowing public access to the Cameron Prairie National Wildlife Refuge will be closed until further notice beginning Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2012. The closure is necessary to allow fresh water from recent rains to alleviate high salinities in the Cameron Creole Watershed caused by extended drought in 2011. This action is being taken in accordance with the Cameron-Creole Water Management Plan. Lowering salinity to the target levels in the Operations Permit will facilitate recovery of marsh vegetation and help reduce land loss in the watershed. Effective January 1, 2012 the U S Fish and Wildlife Service relinquished daily operation of the water control structures on the east side of Calcasieu Lake to the Louisiana State Office of Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority. Daily Operations and maintenance of the structures along the east side of Calcasieu Lake are now funded by the Coastal Wetlands Planning Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) as part of the Cameron Creole Maintenance (CS-04a) project. Gate operations are now performed by a contractor directed by the Louisiana State Office of Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority. [/SIZE] |

i lived and grew up in grand lake and complained about the wiers just like everybody else. I live in raceland now and fish grand isle alot. in the last 10 years the land loss is unreal and i could only wish we had the wiers over here to help stop the land loss. although people ***** and complain they can not fish behind the wiers. you still have land between your house and the gulf. be grateful.

to many big money people have their hands in the pot to open the spillways. like i said i live in raceland by the water plant which is 50 miles by car from belle pass late in the year you can taste the salt water in the drinking water because they do not want to open the donaldsonville spillway which would flood peoples wharfs and docks. that is a crappy excuse for people to have to drink and bathe in salt water. not to mention to help rebuild the marsh.
