The closure areas are represented on the Louisiana coastal map below. Closure areas for each year are colored
differently -- red for 2004; yellow for 2005; purple for 2006; and green for 2007. The 2008 closure area lies within
the 2004 closure area in upper Terrebonne Bay. The 2009 cleanup did not have defined boundaries but took place in the
central Terrebonne Bay Estuary.
