Description	The Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion was Louisiana's largest-ever coastal restoration project designed to divert sediment-rich Mississippi River water through an engineered channel to rebuild over 20 square miles of marshland over fifty years. It aimed to restore wetlands and provide storm buffers for coastal communities. The project was fully funded with nearly $3 billion from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill settlement and had already spent over $618 million by early 2024, with construction having begun.
