About the Pontchartrain Basin Restoration Program

The Pontchartrain Basin Restoration Act of 2000 has provided funding for projects in the Basin area to improve the water quality. Nine entities will work with University of New Orleans to accomplish this goal. The overall goal is to implement major projects and education and outreach programs that will improve water quality, habitat and public access to the Pontchartrain Basin. Other activities supporting the programs are workshops, presentations, volunteer events and other activities.
