The Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion was planned as the largest eco-restoration project in U.S. history to mimic the natural sediment deposition of the Mississippi River to restore Louisiana's coast by creating new marshland in Barataria Bay. The project involved cutting a diversion from the Mississippi River to deposit sediment into the bay, helping to combat rapid land loss.
