Restore Coastal Louisiana
Target: President Obama
Sponsored by: Environmental Defense Fund
Sponsored by: Environmental Defense Fund
The Mississippi Delta is the world's seventh largest river delta. But we are losing these wetlands at an alarming rate.
80 years of national actions to channelize and control the Mississippi River for economic development and navigation have diverted sediment and freshwater from the Delta.
As a result, since the 1930s, more than 1.2 million acres, an area the size of Delaware, has disappeared. Every 30 minutes, an area of coastal land the size of a football field vanishes.
Congress first directed agencies to work together on a restoration plan in 1990. But while multiple plans have been written, little has been accomplished on the ground.
Please do your part by emailing President Obama and urging him to restore coastal Louisiana.
