The Master Plan - Surge Speed Bumps
- Mississippi River Sediment pipelines utilized for nutrient replenishing only during spring flood season not to upset ecological balance of marsh nursery grounds.
- Storm Speed Bump Islands – 100yd x 300yd open water islands constructed as new habitat, but designed to become sacrificial speed bumps to slow storm surge. Tropical Storm surge disperses all but island base in a natural marsh replenishing process.
- Islands protect existing marsh from excessive wave action.
