PROGRESSION OF BARRIER ISLAND RESTORATION IN LOUISIANA. (2018). Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1(36), risk.24. https://doi.org/10.9753/icce.v36.risk.24

Abstract

Over the last several decades restoration efforts in coastal Louisiana have evolved from efforts known mostly to State and Parish officials and academic community to national recognition in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. Consolidated efforts of coastal restoration developed in the early years through the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection, and Restoration Act (CWPPRA). Additional funding and organizational efforts include State funding; the Coastal Impact Assessment Program (CIAP); and most recently from programs resulting from Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill penalties.
