HOUMA, La. (AP) — Phase II of the Floating Islands Restoration Project, designed to help rebuild the coastline in Terrebonne Parish, will be held Friday and Saturday.

Volunteers will place about 1,000 feet of synthetic mats in the water. The 5-foot-by-20-foot mats can hold 150 to 200 plants and will be placed end-to-end and anchored to the water bottom.
