In 1955, Grand Terre was designated as a state Wildlife and Fisheries reservation.
 In 1979, the Louisiana state legislature created the Fort Livingston State Commemorative Area.
 The remains of the fort are somewhat of a tourist attraction, although it is only accessible by boat and is closely monitored by the U.S. Coast Guard.
 The fort is located directly east across Barataria Bay from the Coast Guard Station on Grand Isle, Louisiana.
 Grand Terre Island is also currently home to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries' Marine Laboratory.
 The fort itself is also part of a wave-protection project being conducted by the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources.
 The project consists of a rock dike built to conserve the Gulf shoreline of West Grand Terre Island and protect Fort Livingston.
As a result of tropical storm systems in 2002, the erosion rates along West Grand Terre Island greatly accelerated, requiring some type of protective barrier to be built.
