Every 30 minutes, an area of coastal land the size of a football field vanishes from the Mississippi Delta.
The Mississippi Delta is the world's seventh largest river delta, but we are losing these wetlands at an alarming rate. Please do your part by emailing President Obama and urging him to restore coastal Louisiana. »
Eighty 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.
Congress 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. President Obama's leadership offers us a new opportunity to get coastal restoration right. Ask him to restore coastal Louisiana. »
