National Wildlife Federation - Coastal Louisiana's photostream

Unfortunately, Louisiana is experiencing the highest rate of land loss in the United States. Outlying communities are being submerged and wildlife habitat is shrinking. Stronger hurricanes and rising seas threaten family-supporting jobs and the integrity of coastal ecosystems.

The good news is that Louisiana's coastal areas can be renewed and sustained if we restore the land-building power of the Mississippi River in a controlled way within the next ten years. National Wildlife Federation is partnering with Environmental Defense Fund and National Audubon Society to move bold restoration projects in Louisiana from plan to action.
