LOUISIANA NEEDS THE 2017 COASTAL MASTER PLAN
WITHOUT ACTION, LOUISIANA COULD LOSE 2,250 SQUARE MILES OF LAND OVER THE NEXT 50 YEARS,
PUTTING OUR COMMUNITIES, ECONOMY, NATURAL RESOURCES AND WILDLIFE – OUR ENTIRE WAY OF LIFE – AT RISK.
Louisiana’s 2017 Coastal Master Plan is the blueprint for the state’s coastal restoration and protection efforts. If implemented, it will help Louisiana avoid this devastating land-loss scenario and reduce damages, which could exceed $150 billion over the next 50 years without the master plan.
In addition, nearly 60,000 jobs will be supported by investments in coastal restoration and protection over the next 10 years.
The Louisiana Legislature is currently considering the 2017 Coastal Master Plan. An overwhelming 88 percent of Louisiana voters statewide want their legislator to vote for the plan.
