“Cajun Coral” brings new marine life to Timbalier Bay

New technology is bringing new life to an old favorite fishing spot in Timbalier Bay on Louisiana’s coast. 3D printed concrete “Cajun Coral” was barged out from Port Fourchon to the open bay and splashed down over the coordinates of Pelican Island, a former fish haven washed away nearly a decade ago. The new inshore reef is part of the Coastal Conservation Association’s (CCA) energy-funded artificial reef program and is already attracting aquatic life, with shellfish latching on to the 340 modules and fin fish bedding down in its concrete contours.

Restoring our Wetlands in Southwest Louisiana

After the 2020 hurricane season devastated Southwest Louisiana, the oil and gas industry stepped up to rebuild our wetlands, strengthen our barriers against future storms, and preserve our Louisiana way of life. Phillips 66 recently donated $100,000 and partnered with local students and the Coastal Conservation Association of Louisiana to rebuild wetland habitats in Calcasieu Parish.

Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge Fosters Industry Partnerships

The Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge and Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries has partnered with the oil and gas industry to maintain and fortify watershed and levee systems, protect coastal populations and fortify wildlife habitats in Cameron Parish. Recently, Chevron partnered with the Refuge to develop and fortify a 20-mile levee system to protect Cameron Parish and act as a first line of defense against storms and rising tides. Learn how this mutually-beneficial relationship is a perfect example of how the state, industry and environment can come together to support our working coast.

It’s Our Backyard

Over the past eight years, ConocoPhillips and Ducks Unlimited have enhanced over 800 acres in the Greater Golden Meadow area. This work provides shoreline protection, marsh enrichment and terracing that increase the resilience of the levee system and protect the surrounding communities. Natrx, A Shell GameChanger company, recently utilized its intelligent, adaptive infrastructure platform to create and install custom reef modules, known as “Cajun Coral,” to stabilize 750 feet of a newly completed marsh creation project. With the help of Danos, the reef modules were installed along with 620 feet of ultralight oyster stakes. Learn more about the world’s first Cajun Corral installation. #ForLAsFuture
