Characterization of Post-Hurricane Katrina Floodwater Pumping on Marsh Infauna

Abstract

The Interagency Performance Evaluation Task Force (IPET) was created to study the performance of hurricane protection and damage reduction systems and consequences of structural failures, including potential impacts on biological resources, following Hurricane Katrina. This technical note describes the results of an IPET study funded to examine the impact of floodwater pumping on benthic invertebrate assemblages near Chalmette and Violet, Louisiana.
