Barrier islands are important geomorphic features that provide habitat to diverse ecosystems and protect backbarrier environments from the destructive consequences of tropical storms. In southeastern Louisiana, barrier island systems have evolved dramatically in the recent geologic past due to Mississippi River avulsions, coastal reworking, and anthropogenic modifications to the landscape that affect hydrology and sediment dynamics. These factors have led to extreme rates of land-loss and transgression, and require a human response to offset sediment deficiencies so that barrier systems can remain in equilibrium with the surrounding environment. Adequate sand and mixed sediment resources suitable for restoration however are a scarce commodity proximal to the Louisiana coast. In order to maximize the benefit of renourishment efforts, a holistic approach to Regional Sediment Management (RSM) is required that emphasizes system-wide littoral dynamics and strategic resource extraction. The Barrier Island System Management (BISM) program was developed to provide decision-makers with a comprehensive workflow designed to assist in maintaining barrier health over projected 50-year timescales. This framework utilizes modeling techniques grounded in Robust Decision Making (RDM) to programmatically allocate sediment resources to barrier islands. Additionally, the Barrier Island Restoration Tradeoff Analysis (BIRTA) toolkit considers variables such as RSM and socioeconomic benefit to provide an array of potential projects and restoration schedules. These scenarios can be manually assessed and modified as necessary in response to unpredictable variables such as tropical storms. This analysis presents a high-level overview of the BIRTA toolkit and outlines the utility of BISM to convey a path forward that holistically implements RSM to maintain the Louisiana barrier coastline.
