Restoration projects since Deepwater

The Gulf Spill Restoration team is restoring resources in multiple locations across the Gulf of Mexico: Oyster reefs offshore of the five Gulf states (Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas); restoring habitats for migratory birds and sea turtles in multiple locations from barrier islands to beaches that line the Gulf Coast; wetlands, coastal, and nearshore habitats, and for improving water quality. The GSR is also continuing restoration of resources and habitats offshore in the GoM, including new projects for marine mammals, deep-sea habitats, fish, and sea turtles.
