Take Action: Hold CPRA Accountable for Long‑Term Coastal Protection
The state’s new coastal spending plan is the first in over a decade to leave out projects that use the Mississippi River to rebuild Louisiana’s rapidly eroding coast. Without reconnecting the river to supply sediment, proposed projects may offer only short-term benefits at a time when intensifying storms and rising seas demand durable, long-term protection for coastal communities.
Tell CPRA we need a plan that will protect the coast for future generations.

How I got involved:
I became interested in the work of Restore the Mississippi River Delta when I was offered an opportunity to highlight their work during a Sunday Service that focused on nature. Since then I have been impressed with the educational and advocacy work done by the Coalition in working to save our coastline and wetlands.
Why I love Louisiana:
I am a native of Louisiana and spent my childhood raised on the water along the Gulf coastal marshlands. Later in life I was involved with the Gulf Coast fisheries industry. The richness of this Louisiana and her coastal lands, waters, villages and reefs are part of who I am and how I know the world. To see harm done to any of it is like harm is being done to my family. I want my grandchildren and their grandchildren to at least retain what is and if possible restore some of what was. I love Louisiana.
