She said the whale fluke was “well decomposed” and “because the extent of decomposition, we can’t determine what species it is”. “Our rangers are towing it away but we are still determining where we will take it.

Efforts are underway in Cameron Parish to restore Rabbit Island to assist population growth for the Brown Pelican in southwest Louisiana. Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority Project Manager Todd Baker says they are building up the island by using sediment from the Calcasieu Ship Channel.
“We are targeting elevations for these birds so that they can have nests, lay eggs that won’t go underwater on a routine basis, and thus increase their nesting success each year,” said Baker.
Located in Cameron Parish, Baker said Rabbit Island is the only Brown Pelican habitat in Southwest Louisiana, and restoring the area not only assists the state bird.
