VOLUNTEER ANNOUNCEMENT! Fourchon Beach Sweep! Restore critical habitat, protect wildlife, and preserve Louisiana’s beautiful beaches. Event: Fourchon Beach Sweep Location: Fourchon Beach Parking at the Port Fourchon Public Launch on LA 3090 (click for web map) A shuttle will transport you to the beach Date: Saturday, May 24th, 2008 Time: 9:00am Join the BTNEP volunteer team, the Edward Wisner Donation, and Chevron Pipeline Co. as we restore the beaches and dunes of Fourchon Beach. The devastating hurricane season of 2005 may be two years behind us, but our environment is still recovering. Wind, waves, and high water delivered countless tons of marine debris to the shores of Louisiana. This debris is not only an eye sore; it endangers the natural inhabitants of this critical habitat. To make matters worse, currents deliver litter carelessly discarded by Gulf boaters every day. You can help preserve the diverse ecology of coastal Louisiana by joining with your neighbors to clear the litter and debris from the dunes and beaches of Fourchon Beach.
