SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The boundary for the Barataria Preserve Unit
of Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve was established
through congressional legislative action in 1978. During the
intervening years there have been significant changes in land uses
along this area not currently part of the park that could merit
inclusion. The analysis in the Draft Barataria Boundary Study will
provide objective information for consideration in any future action by
the Department of Interior or the U.S. Congress to revise the park's
original legislative boundary.
Dated: March 21, 1996.
Frank Catroppa,
Superintendent, Gulf Coast System Support Office.
