Description:Excerpt from Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Annual Report, 1982 The Atchafalaya Delta Wildlife Management area, one of the largest and most recent land acquisitions of the department, has the potential of being one of the most productive and dynamic Wildlife management areas on the North American Continent. Due to sediment de posits created by the Atchafalaya River, the land area of Atchafalaya Delta is accreting by some 1000 acres annual ly. This new delta formation serves as host to hundreds of thousands of waterfowl annually. Since acquisition of Atchafalaya Delta by the department, waterfowl hunters have had the Opportunity to use this area. Camping and mooring sites constructed by department personnel have provided hunters a safe place to overnight. Salvador Wildlife Management Area, located in St. Charles parish a short drive from New Orleans, provides excellent habitat for waterfowl, an abundance of alliga tors, freshwater fish, and furbearing animals. During 1982, a water control structure with a set of boat rollers was installed on the north end of the property. Pointe Au Chien Wildlife Management Area, located in lower Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, comprises some acres of coastal marshland and provides excellent waterfowl hunting and excellent saltwater fishing. Due to its location, Pointe Au Chien is subjected to much saltwater intrusion. As a result of recent mineral development and mitigation, an extensive development project is currently underway. Several wakefield weirs have been proposed and are currently in the planning stages. Also, earthen dams are being installed to prevent tidal uctuations and saltwater intrusion. With the past history of mineral development in this area, extensive marsh management programs will have to be under taken if the productivity of the ecosystem of Pointe Au Chien is to be maintained.
