The Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) and the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) will host a public information meeting on August 19 to discuss the White Lake Wetlands Conservation Area (WLWCA) Master Plan.

The WLWCA, located in Vermilion Parish, covers approximately 72,000 acres, of which 75 percent is freshwater marsh managed by LDWF. The remaining 19,000 acres include leased lands of over 10,000 agricultural acres and smaller areas of woods, levees, access channels, and campsites.
