The World Needs More Louisiana – Not Less

The overwhelming public support for the Mid-Barataria hasn’t changed. The need for Mid-Barataria has only become more urgent. Only the politics has changed – and that is deeply concerning for Louisiana’s future.

Coastal Louisiana is disappearing faster than anywhere else in the U.S. But we have the tools to rebuild it – and to save our unique cultures, critical wildlife habitat and nationally-significant industries and infrastructure.

The Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion (MBSD) is the single most important restoration project to protect our land, communities, and way of life. MBSD uses the power of the Mississippi River itself to rebuild Louisiana’s vanishing wetlands—mimicking the natural processes that built our delta in the first place.

 Louisiana’s coastal program was built on prioritizing science and public good over politics, but it is now in jeopardy.

Recent comments by Governor Landry signal a dramatic shift in that science-based philosophy and it’s time to step up to protect Louisiana’s coast. The MBSD is the most studied and most important project in Louisiana. This project will reconnect the Mississippi River with its sediment-starved wetlands to build new wetlands and sustain nearby marsh.

It’s time to step up to protect Louisiana’s coast. Sign the form and pledge your support for the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion.
