    Integrated Ecosystem Restoration and Hurricane Protection in Coastal

    Integrated Ecosystem Restoration & Hurricane Protection in Coastal Louisiana: DRAFT Fiscal Year 2015 Annual Plan committed to our coast Page intentionally left blank With the passage of Act 8 of the First Extraordinary Session of 2005 (Act 8), the Louisiana Legislature mandated the integration of hurricane protection activities (e.g., levee construction) and coastal restoration activities (e.g., river diversions or marsh creation). Act 8 also created the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) and tasked it with oversight of these activities. The Office of Coastal Protection and Restoration (OCPR) was designated as the implementation arm of the CPRA. To avoid confusion, the 2012 Louisiana Legislature changed the name of the state agency from OCPR to CPRA. The CPRA is required by Act 523 of the 2009 Regular Legislative Session, to produce an Annual Plan that inventories projects, presents implementation schedules for these projects, and identifies funding schedules and budgets. This Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 Annual Plan provides an update on the State’s efforts to protect and restore its coast and describes the short-term and long- term results that citizens can expect to see as the State progresses toward a sustainable coast.
