2018 Map of Chandeleur Light

About this map

Gulf of Mexico waters dominate this marine-focused survey, which covers a section of the Chandeleur Islands chain in Saint Bernard Parish. The map captures a moment in the shifting coastal landscape, where the barrier islands are subject to significant geomorphological change. While largely devoid of terrestrial features or human settlements, the survey provides an essential baseline for understanding the maritime environment and the delicate state of the Louisiana coastline in the late 2010s.
