Photograph of the eastern shoreline of Lake Salvador

Photographs of the eastern shoreline of Lake Salvador. A bulkhead at the Tenneco canal.

To reduce the risk of breaching between the eroding eastern shoreline of Lake Salvador into the Bayou Segnette Waterway, an earthen dike was built in 1996 and filled to reestablish the marsh. This project area is generally known as the geo-crib. In the top photograph: The straight Bayou Segnette Waterway is on the left. Lake Salvador is on right. The dike runs down the side of the canal, and the geo-crib is offshore and ties into additional rock-shoreline protection extending out of the frame of the photograph to the right. In the bottom photograph: A wooden bulkhead at the Tenneco canal originally dead-ended at a drilling location in the marsh until the lake eroded into it.
