Bayou Lafourche isn’t just a Body of Water — it’s a Lifeline.
For generations, it’s been the thread weaving together the stories, livelihoods, and futures of our community. Whether you rely on it for drinking water, fish its waters, or simply drive by it on your way home, the bayou impacts your life more than you know.
But here’s the truth: the bayou needs you. Decades of neglect and challenges like sediment build-up and saltwater intrusion are threatening its ability to serve us all. The Bayou Lafourche Freshwater District is here to change that—but we can’t do it without you.
