Sabine Pass

Tidal Mitigation
Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. proposes to create approximately 70 acres of tidally influenced wetlands south of the Sabine Pass LNG Terminal and near the Sabine Pass Lighthouse. The area historically has been utilized for dredged material placement and currently consists of a mosaic of coastal pasture and non-tidal wetland habitat. The project will preserve the area from future dredge placement activities and/or future development. The preservation and enhancement of the existing wetlands in this area will also increase the aesthetic value of the Sabine Pass Lighthouse for future visitors.

Non-Tidal Mitigation
Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. is proposing to enhance and preserve approximately 272 acres located within the existing dredged material placement areas (DMPA) north of the SPLNG terminal site. The wetlands will be constructed within an undisturbed area within the existing DMPA that is suitable to capture sufficient surface water to support the wetlands.

Corpus Christi

Shamrock Island Mitigation
Corpus Christi LNG, LLC proposes to protect and enhance existing wetlands and create new seagrass habitat at Shamrock Island. The island is located along the eastern shoreline of Corpus Christi Bay, Texas, approximately 2 miles west of Mustang Island. The island serves as an important rookery to a number of nesting bird species, in particular, the royal tern. Significant beach erosion and loss of wetlands, which has impacted vital bird nesting habitat. As part of an ongoing mitigation effort involving several agencies and private entities, Corpus Christi LNG, LLC will construct breakwaters surrounding the island. The breakwaters will protect the northern end of the island where most damage is occurring from wave action and the southern reach which will protect the lagoon.

Creole Trail

Wetland Mitigation and Beneficial Use of Dredged Material
Creole Trail LNG, L.P. is proposing restoration of up to 1,100 acres of marsh in southwest Louisiana as a combined wetland mitigation and beneficial use project. The restoration would entail beneficial use of approximately 4 million cubic yards of dredged material within degraded marsh and shallow open-water areas east of Mud Lake, restoration of the historic boundary of Oyster Lake, and plugging and/or filling of oilfield canals. Restoration goals include creation of emergent brackish marsh, restoration of historic lake shorelines, reducing tidal exchange and saltwater intrusion, decreasing rates of marsh loss, and enhancing fisheries and waterfowl habitat.

Oyster and Finfish Public Stewardship Plan
Cheniere is teaming up with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to provide quality habitat for oysters and finfish in Calcasieu Lake. The intent is to aid in the recovery of the lake post-Hurricane Rita, provide alternative habitat for fishery resources that may be displaced upon the construction of projects within the lake, and provide fishery habitat for recreational and commercial fisheries.
