The Atchafalaya is different among Louisiana basins because it has a growing delta system (see illustration) with wetlands that are almost stable. [1] The basin contains about 70% forest habitat and about 30% marsh and open water.

By 1968 there was evidence that the translocated bears were reproducing.
