Queen Bess Island, located off the coast of Grand Isle, Louisiana, is a historic nesting ground for numerous coastal bird species. Over the years, subsidence, continuous erosion, storms, and the devastating impacts of the BP oil spill left the island severely degraded. In a collaborative effort, RES and Pontchartrain Partners, LLC undertook a seven-month restoration project to rejuvenate this vital habitat.
