SCP Coastal Zone Advisory Committee 12:00 PM (trimmed) - Jul 14, 2026
The committee is reviewing the parish's estuarine management units a decade after they were drawn, questioning whether Paradis and Des Allemands fit in the West Bank unit and whether carbon capture rules should be addressed. Flood insurance discounts (CRS credits) ride on this work.
Parish Council 6:00 PM (trimmed) - Jun 16, 2026
A $3.4 million engineering contract moves forward on shoreline protection along Lake Salvador, with CPRA footing the bill. Jewell says saltwater intrusion and marsh loss are happening now, not 50 years out.

SCP Coastal Zone Advisory Committee 12:00 PM (trimmed) - Feb 10, 2026
The committee discussed EMUs 15, 16 and 17 and introduced EMUs 12, 13 and 14 — geographic units used to organize coastal planning and permitting review. How these boundaries are drawn shapes which projects get extra scrutiny where.
SCP Coastal Zone Advisory Committee 12:00 PM (trimmed) - Jan 13, 2026
The parish's 10-year-old local coastal program is getting a refresh, starting with the three lake EMUs. Staff hope smart updates can also earn flood insurance (CRS) credits for protecting natural floodplain functions.
