Davis Pond Effects

Photos from Northeast side of lake.

Jan. 2008

      

 

    The Davis Pond Freshwater Diversion was designed to decrease saltwater intrusion into the marshes of our area, but it has also resulted in an explosion of Hydrilla in Lake Cataouatche.

As seen in the photo to the right, there is a one lane passage leading across the lake.

The Louisiana Dept. of Wildlife and Fisheries  had contractors spray 22 miles of 60-foot wide passages with a contact herbicide called Aquathol-K to clear passages for boaters.
