Restoration Agenda

Louisiana loses the equivalent of 32 football fields of land every day.

If this rapid loss is allowed to continue, nearly 2 million people in Louisiana's coastal zone will be subjected to more frequent and severe flooding. Entire communities may have to be abandoned. Natural resources critical to families across the country will be lost.
