Redman Point–Loosahatchie Bar Environmental Restoration

This project restores river flow to 11.25 miles of secondary channel habitats in the lower Mississippi River through the construction of 11 notches in 8 dikes, 1 chevron, and 2 roundpoints. This project, located outside of Memphis, TN, greatly improves recreational opportunities and increases habitat availability for 3 federally listed species. The environmental modifications made also allow for increased fish passage and decrease future sedimentation. This project benefits both commercial and recreational fish species, and will increase nature-based tourism and environmental education opportunities for the large metropolitan city of Memphis, TN.
