Louisiana Coastal Restoration

Louisiana Coastal Restoration involves initiatives to repair and protect the state's rapidly disappearing and shrinking coastline, primarily caused by sea level rise, erosion, and human activities. These projects include restoring wetlands, building barriers to prevent storm surge, and planting vegetation to stabilize land. The goal is to safeguard communities, ecosystems, and economy by maintaining the natural defenses against storms and flooding while supporting wildlife habitats and fisheries. Overall, it’s about proactively restoring and preserving Louisiana’s vital coastal environment for future generations.
