These coastal wetlands are a serious pure useful resource in addition to a serious financial driver for the area. The coastal wetlands act as a buffer defending all the pieces from storms coming in from the Gulf. Infrastructure, business fisheries, fish shellfish, and fowl nursery grounds, and habitat for tens of millions of waterfowl and different migratory birds are all supported by the wetlands.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cDucks Unlimited wetlands conservation projects across the Gulf Coast provide economic, ecological and societal benefits that ripple across the country,\u201d mentioned Chevron Gulf of Mexico Corporate Affairs Manager Leah Brown. \u201cWe are proud to continue our partnership by helping to support these efforts.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The $500,000 grant from Chevron will likely be used to assist two coastal restoration tasks. The southwest Louisiana Habitat enhancements at Lacassine National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) and\u00a0the Unit 3 work on Rockefeller Refuge. Both of those tasks fall below the Ducks Unlimited Gulf Coast Initiative.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cWorking with partners like Chevron helps ensure our conservation work never stops,\u201d mentioned DU Director of Conservation Programs Cassidy Lejeune. \u201cThe projects that Chevron supports are critical to Louisiana\u2019s wetlands and wildlife. Without support from them and other GCI partners, we could not accomplish what we do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The\u00a0Lacassine National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) may have work achieved on changing water-control buildings and the refitting of the present surface-water pumping system with a brand new energy unit on Unit B. Unit B is an 800-acre unit that&#8217;s simply accessible by automobile and is likely one of the hottest areas of the Lacassine National Wildlife Refuge.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Rockefeller Refuge Unit 3 is a 3,800-acre marsh unit that&#8217;s dwelling to tens of hundreds of migratory waterfowl every year. The work proposed consists of refitting the floor water pumping system to enhance water administration.<\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" fifu-lazy=\"1\" fifu-data-sizes=\"auto\" fifu-data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=75&resize=75&ssl=1 75w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=100&resize=100&ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=150&resize=150&ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=240&resize=240&ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=320&resize=320&ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=500&resize=500&ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=640&resize=640&ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=800&resize=800&ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=1024&resize=1024&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=1280&resize=1280&ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=1600&resize=1600&ssl=1 1600w\" class=\"author-avatar\" alt=\"Avatar Author ID 322 - 242264814\" width=\"96\" height=\"96\" fifu-data-src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" fifu-lazy=\"1\" fifu-data-sizes=\"auto\" fifu-data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=75&resize=75&ssl=1 75w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=100&resize=100&ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=150&resize=150&ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=240&resize=240&ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=320&resize=320&ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=500&resize=500&ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=640&resize=640&ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=800&resize=800&ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=1024&resize=1024&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=1280&resize=1280&ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1&w=1600&resize=1600&ssl=1 1600w\" class=\"author-avatar\" fifu-data-src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8ed4ecae73633532a0a0189e8cfe2b7?s=96&d=mm&r=g&ssl=1\" alt=\"Avatar Author ID 322 - 242264814\" width=\"96\" height=\"96\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p class=\"author-name\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alloutdoor.com\/author\/eugene-l\/\" title=\"Posts by Eugene L.\" rel=\"author noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Eugene L.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"author-bio\"> Fishing Writer for AllOutdoor.com An avid angler since I used to be little, primarily based out of the South East United States.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Ducks Unlimited (DU) has been awarded $500,000 from Chevron for its coastal wetlands conservation tasks on the Gulf Coast of Louisiana.
