MEMPHIS – Ducks Unlimited announced a $5 million contribution by Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) in support of wetland conservation efforts in Ohio and Louisiana.
“Wetland conservation work supported by ETP will have positive impacts for waterfowl, other wildlife and their habitats, as well as on water quality and other ecological outcomes that benefit people and communities,” DU CEO Dale Hall said.
ETP’s $5 million contribution will allow for conservation mission efforts in Louisiana through DU’s Gulf Coast Initiative, which includes the Atchafalaya Delta.
The Gulf Coast Initiative focuses on the restoration, enhancement and protection of wetlands that provide a winter home for millions of waterfowl each year. These same habitats provide critical community and infrastructure protection and support the nature-based economy of coastal Louisiana and Texas.
