The St. Bernard Parish Council voted to authorize a grant proposal to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) Coastal Resilience Fund to develop a local maintenance dredging and beneficial-use program.
On March 17 Councilmember Ryan Randall moved, and Gillis McCloskey seconded, Resolution SBPC #2623-03-26, "A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PARISH PRESIDENT TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL TO THE NATIONAL FISH AND WILDLIFE FOUNDATION COASTAL RESILIENCE FUND FOR THE PURPOSE OF SECURING FUNDING TO DEVELOP A LOCAL MAINTENANCE DREDGING AND BENEFICIAL USE OF DREDGED MATERIAL PROGRAM."
