Christopher Goodwin Southwest Cultural Resources Center Professional Papers No. 10 e I ARCHEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE BARATARIA UNIT, JEAN LAFITTE NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK By John Stuart Speaker, Joanna Chase, Carol Poplin, Herschel Franks, and R. Christopher Goodwin Contract No. PX 7530-5-0100 December 12, 1986 Submitted to: southwest Region National Park Service U.S. Department of Interior P.O. Box 728 Santa Fe, New Mexico 87504 Submitted by: R. Christopher Goodwin & Associates, Inc. 1306 Burdette St. New Orleans, Louisiana 70118 ABSTRACT This archeological assessment provides an overview of the natural and cultural environment, past and present, within the Barataria unit; it represents a synthesis of the results of previous investigations of the area. The archeological record of the study area is incomplete at present. Al though there have been several cultural resource investigations conducted pr imar i 1 y wi t!}.in the core area, few have offered data necessary to fill the gaps existing in the prehistoric record. It is imperative that existing sites and data be protected from adverse effects; otherwise the research potential that exists in this rich cultural and environmental setting may never be realized. MANAGEMENT SUMMARY This report presents the results of a literature review and archeological assessment of the Barataria Unit of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park (JLNHP). During this effort, numerous environmental, archeological, and historical sources were utilized. The report identifies and discusses relevant data pert a in ing to the geomorphology, hydrology, ecology, and resource potential for the area.

  • Shedding Light on Our Estuary & Our Economy
    Shedding Light on Our Estuary & Our Economy Environmental Indicators in the Barataria-Terrebonne Estuary System 2010 1 Courtesy of Guy Fanguy Friends: The Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program’s first environmental indicators report, Healthy Estuary, Healthy Economy, Healthy Communities... Environmental Indicators in the Barataria-Terrebonne Estuary System: 2002, provided a valuable overview of the environmental health of the Barataria-Terrebonne Estuary System (BTES), and remains one of the Program’s most popular products. It is therefore a great pleasure for me to introduce an update to this report. The general format remains the same. A series of ten focus questions that residents of the BTES commonly have posed to the BTNEP Partnership is used to organize the environmental indicators presented in this report. The indicators under each focus question represent some of the BTES’ vital signs. They tell us how our estuary is doing and establish an associational link to how the BTNEP Partnership’s restoration efforts are working. The devastation brought to the BTES—our home—by the 2005 and 2008 hurricane seasons only emphasizes how important the health of our estuary is to the safety and sustainability of our communities. Post-storm analysis has shown that intact, healthy wetlands can protect homes and businesses from hurricane surge much better than degraded wetlands. The horrific experience of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita highlights the real tragedy for BTES residents and for the nation: the fact that this region is being lost to the Gulf of Mexico at an extraordinary rate. Our land loss problem will only make our communities, businesses, and entire infrastructure increasingly vulnerable to future hurricanes.

ERDC/EL TR-13-3 ii Abstract The Bayou Segnette Waterway (BSWW) has a history of shallowness due to shoaling and consequently requires periodic dredging to maintain its navigability. However, traditional dredged material placement sites along the BSWW are either at or near capacity. Therefore, this study set out to identify viable options for future maintenance dredging and recommend innovative methods of transport and placement of material dredged from the BSWW.

A special thank you goes to Dr. Jack Isaacs who assisted not only in the preparation of the survey instruments but also in reviewing the preliminary draft of the survey report. His comments and suggestions have greatly contributed to the quality of the report. The contribution of Dr. Latika Bharadwaj, Michael Buckner, Herb Holloway, Vincent Hoang, Martin Bourgeois and Harry Blanchet are appreciated for their assistance during the preparation and mailing of the questionnaires. We also thank David Dousay and Bobbie Savant for their guidance and assistance with the database. The workers in the Enforcement Section of Louisiana Department of Wildlife of Fisheries also deserve our appreciation for allowing the use of their printer to print the survey instruments. Our appreciation also goes to the Fisheries Biologists, particularly Dr. Brian Alford and Mike Wood, who assisted in reviewing this report and provided valuable comments and suggestions. This study would not have been possible without the funding provided by the Department of Health and Hospitals and without the willingness of the survey participants who responded to our questionnaires. To all of you, we say thank you.
