WETLAND
RESTORATION
Wetland
loss has in more than one way affected almost all of the people,
land, and wildlife in coastal Louisiana. Extensive marsh deterioration
has made the coastal region more vulnerable to flooding from storms
and hurricanes, reduced the amount of wildlife nursery areas and
other habitat, reduced biodiversity, made inland areas more vulnerable
to saltwater intrusion, and has cast a mantle of uncertainty on
the outlook for recreation and nature-based tourism. Louisiana
Sea Grant helps mitigate these problems through investments in
restoration science and technology, and by improving the public’s
understanding of ecosystem changes and impacts.
