Welcome to the New Orleans Urban Waters Restoration Mapping Project page. This project was funded in part by the EPA Urban Waters Small Grant Program. This community mapping project aimed to maps eight urban restoration sites around New Orleans. Learn more about the sites and visit the maps made in this project below!

###Bayou St. John at Lake Pontchartrain
Bayou St John is an urban Scenic River and site of post-Katrina saltwater marsh restoration, including many locations of urban shoreline re-vegetation with Scirpus and Spartina species in coordination with the Bayou St John Scenic river restoration plan, the LSU AgCenter, Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation, and many community partners. In part due to these improvements, the area is becoming an increasingly popular urban recreation destination. Detailed documentation can encourage continued restoration and maintenance of existing restoration efforts.

###Bayou St. John Scenic Urban Waterway
Bayou St John Scenic Urban Waterway is a site of urban shoreline re-vegetation. The site is an increasingly favored location for outdoor recreation of tremendously varied kinds, from dog walking to canoeing and kayaking to fishing, boat races and musical festivals. With high public interest and participation through this project, detailed documentation will encourage the continued restoration and maintenance of restoration efforts.

###Stormwater Wetlands at City Park
Stormwater Wetlands in City Park is a site that embodies many of New Orleans’ urban water issues and goals. The area is subject to much subsidence and ongoing problems from unmanaged stormwater. The "Living with Water" strategy re-envisions water infrastructure as aesthetic, ecological, and geological improvements, and a way to reduce damages from flooding and induced subsidence, and increase property values and quality of life. In an attempt to create a pilot project for the Living with Water scenario, City Park and LSU AgCenter created a stormwater wetland here.
