Biloxi
Marsh Lands Corporation (BLMC) and Lake Eugenie Land & Development,
Inc. (LKEU)
BLMC and LKEU are the owners of approximately 150,000 acres of
mostly marsh land all of which is located in St. Bernard Parish,
Louisiana. Each company’s ownership of the property dates
back to the early 1900s and makes BLMC and LKEU together the largest
landowners in the Parish of St. Bernard. It
is
important to note that revenues derived by BLMC and LKEU from
oil and gas exploration and development are what makes the establishment
of The Fund possible. This property owned by BLMC and LKEU is
non-commercial wetlands and no monies from the fund can be used
in enhancing their property. Each company allows hunting and fishing
activities to take place on their property through private hunting
and fishing leases. Remarkably, for nearly fifty years BLMC has
allowed the public to hunt, fish, view and enjoy wildlife free
of charge on 39,583 acres of its property through very low cost
contractual lease arrangement with the Louisiana Department of
Wildlife and Fisheries to establish and maintain the Biloxi
Wildlife Management Area (Biloxi-WMA). BLMC owns the Biloxi-WMA.
