Integrated Ecosystem Restoration and Hurricane Protection:

Louisiana's Comprehensive Master Plan for a Sustainable Coast 

 


The Louisiana Legislature approved the CPRA's master plan for coastal restoration and hurricane protection on May 30, 2007. Entitled "Integrated Ecosystem Restoration and Hurricane Protection: Louisiana's Comprehensive Master Plan for a Sustainable Coast, the plan is the first document to completely incorporate hurricane protection projects with projects aimed at rebuilding Louisiana's rapidly eroding coastal wetlands. The plan reflects more than a year of research, stakeholder and scientific review and writing. It will be the guide for all coastal restoration and hurricane protection efforts in Louisiana over the next several decades. To view the plan, please click the image to the left.
