cost $ 45.5 million (about $ 154.1 million in 2023 dollars). When the project was completed in 1981, the barrier island measured 3.5 miles (5.6 km) long, 1,400 feet (426.7 m) wide, and about 700 acres (2.8 km) in size. Due to its shape, it became known as "the Banana" dike. Streams were also rerouted (Mouillee Creek, Bad Creek, and
Lautenschlager Drain) and a pump station installed to monitor the water level of the restored marshland. When the project was completed, it became one of the largest freshwater marsh restoration projects in North America. In 1982, remaining dredged materials were no longer needed at Pointe Mouillee and were dumped at

point." In 1875 eight millionaire sportsmen organized the Big Eight
Shooting Club, which was renamed the Pointe Mouillee Shooting Club in 1879. The marsh gradually receded over the years as Lake Erie's fluctuating waters eroded the protective barrier islands. In 1945 the Michigan Department of Conservation purchased the land with revenue from federal Pittman–Robertson excise taxes and the state Game and Fish Protection Fund. During the 1980s the department initiated a major wildlife habitat project to restore the Mouillee marshes.
