What a sad day for our state.💔 Louisiana, under Jeff Landry’s administration, has just canceled the largest coastal restoration project in our history. We’re watching our wetlands disappear before our eyes while abandoning the only real hope we had for large-scale restoration and nourishment of the ecosystems that still remain. We desperately need projects like the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion to reconnect the Mississippi River to our nutrient-starved wetlands. Dredging is a short-term band-aid. It does nothing to reverse the long-term damage caused by cutting off the river’s natural ability to rebuild our swamps and marshes. Canceling this project is a major step backward in the fight to save our coast. #saveourcoast #louisiana #neworleans #midbarataria #wetlands #coastalconservation #coastalrestoration #mbsd #midbaratariasedimentdiversion #jefflandry #governorjefflandry
