The area around Cameron Parish’s No Name Bayou has suffered significant marsh degradation and loss due to a long history of intense hurricanes and saltwater intrusion from activity in the nearby Calcasieu Ship Channel. To reverse these effects and restore the vital wetland ecosystem, CPRA is implementing the No Name Bayou Marsh Creation project, which will create and restore 466 acres of marshland.

The project is located within the Cameron-Creole Watershed Management Area, which includes 64,000 acres of wetlands that have been degraded by storm surge, saltwater intrusion, and other factors. This area is a prime habitat for ducks and shrimp, attracting hunters and fishermen to the area. To restore and protect this area, the completed project will dredge approximately 1.7 million cubic yards of sediment from the bottom of Calcasieu Lake to be pumped into containment cells. The $29.5 million project is a joint effort between CPRA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the project's federal sponsor.

Funding for the project was secured in 2022, and construction began in October 2023, with expected completion in the late summer of 2025. As of 2024, containment dikes have been constructed and the interior dirt work has been laid.
