What is Happening?

75 square kilometers are lost from the 3 million acres of Louisiana wetlands each year. Louisiana’s coasts are vital for the billion dollar seafood industry. With barrier islands eroding quickly, most of the Coast and Wetlands of Louisiana will be exposed to the Gulf of Mexico’s currents and processes by the end of the century. With the urbanization of cities residing on the Mississippi river making it a vital matter to keep the river’s path stable through the use of Levees and other protective measures against floods, letting the Mississippi deliver sediment in its natural process is unlikely and can lead to major flooding in many cities, towns, and areas surrounding the river.
