Situated in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain of the Gulf Coast Prairie Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GCP LCC), the Chitimacha Tribe is one of four federally recognized tribes in Louisiana. The Tribal seat, trust lands/ reservation, and adjacent Tribal owned lands are located near Charenton, Louisiana, totaling nearly 1,000 acres. The Chitimacha, with a population of approximately 1,400 people, are currently impacted by storm surge, which is expected to increase with climate change. The additional stress from storms will likewise increase the vulnerability to catastrophic impact in the event of a breach in the Atchafalaya Basin Spillway levee. A collaborative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and...

South Louisiana's continued land-loss due to erosion and subsidence is a constant process and demands attention though restoration and mitigation efforts. Data is needed to determine elevation and vegetation related to subsidence, climate change and saltwater intrusion. This information is critical to our partners for continued monitoring of marsh in degrading landscapes. Whether from subsidence, erosion or other factors, changing sediments are having detrimental effects on the marsh landscape. Providing imagery and digital surface models will help researchers correlate other datasets to determine factors contributing to marsh changes.

South Louisiana's continued land-loss due to erosion and subsidence is a constant process and demands attention thru restoration and mitigation efforts. Data is needed to determine elevation and vegetation related to subsidence, climate change and saltwater intrusion. This information is critical to our partners for continued monitoring of marsh in degrading landscape. Weather from subsidence ,erosion or other factors, changing sediments is having detrimental effects on the marsh landscape.
