Who Are We We are a partnership of government, business, scientists, conservation organizations, agricultural interests, and individuals for the preservation, protection, and restoration of the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary in southeast Louisiana. If you live, work, or play in the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary or are one of the millions that useABOUT BTNEP
The Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary contains some of the most diverse and fertile habitats in the world. The wedge-shaped area between the Mississippi and Atchafalaya rivers contains levees, forests, swamps, marshes, islands, bays, bayous, other habitats. Barataria-Terrebonne’s estuaries feed and shelter millions ofmigrating ducks and
CALENDARS – BTNEP WEBSITE Each year, BTNEP produces educational calendars that highlight the estuary's unique ecology and history. Past calendars have told stories of historic landmarks, beautiful birds, and local culture. Here, you can download the latest calendar and those from years past.ESTUARY ISSUES
Management Conference members have identified seven priority problems in the estuary that are contributing to land loss, habitat modification, the decline in certain animal populations, water quality issues related to fish, shellfish, and humans, and contamination of sediment in the marshes.PLANT MATERIALS
The fastest disappearing landmass on earth is occurring in the Barataria and Terrebonne estuaries. This rapid coastal land loss is indiscriminate in the habitats and landforms being washed away. Often overlooked are the remnant chenier ridges and maritime forests, the “high land”, in an otherwise vast expanse of wetlands.

Land Change Dynamics The Barataria Basin is located south-southwest of New Orleans. It contains vast expanses of forested and herbaceous wetlands spanning from saline to freshwater environments.The Barataria Basin has experienced the second greatest land loss of the nine coastal Louisiana basins, with a net loss of approximately 277,000 acres (1,121.0 km2) of wetlands since 1932.PLANT MATERIALS

Often overlooked are the remnant chenier ridges and maritime forests, the “high land”, in an otherwise vast expanse of wetlands. PROJECTS – BTNEP BIRDS Bird Projects BTNEP has initiated many projects addressing birds and bird habitats over the last number of years. These projects have included educational products such as videos, posters, brochures, and documents, to research and monitoring such as plover surveys, wading bird surveys, and research addressing growth of woody plants along thecoast that are
VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
Since the 1990’s, BTNEP Volunteer Program has worked to educate the public about issues concerning coastal Louisiana and in getting the public involved in restoration efforts. Annually, BTNEP coordinates 500-800 volunteers to participate in native vegetation plantings asANDREW BARRON

Habitat restoration is necessary when natural or human-made degradation of habitat threatens natural ecosystems. All living creatures are directly tied to the habitats that sustain them.

Bayou Folse Watershed Restoration Bayou Folse is an imperiled watershed located in southeastern Louisiana in Lafourche Parish. The purpose of this project is to characterize water quality issues, to identify the geographic areas contributing to pollution carried by rainfall runoff, and to improve the surface water quality. Louisiana Red Knots Red Knots (Calidris canutus) are long-distance migrants that travel over 1,000 miles two times a year from their breeding grounds in the arctic to their wintering grounds in South America. Part of the Red Knots journey includes Louisiana’s coast, a place to rest and refuel.FIND US ON FACEBOOK
